Mandarin Bellini

Mandarin juice is much different than traditional orange juice — it’s sweeter and less acidic. Mandarins are easy to peel and they do not contain seeds — making it a breeze to squeeze your own juice by hand. Mandarin Bellinis are a brunchtime cocktail that mom is sure to enjoy!

Ingredients

• Prosecco
• 15ml of Cointreau (orange triple sec)
• Juice squeezed from 1 fresh mandarin
• Twist of a mandarin peel

Directions

1. Add all ingredients in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a mandarin twist.
