Thursday, January 9 A fun twist on the traditional mimosa, instead of using orange juice I chose to go with  ruby red grapefruit. I have also switched out the champagne with a rose and paired the citrus with sage.

A drink like this is one of the only ways you can acceptably drink in the mornings. It is the perfect way to start a relaxing Saturday or Sunday! Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice (Fresh squeezed if you can)
A sweet sparkling wine ( I used Rose, something like Asti Spumante would also be great!)
A few fresh sage leaves
A wedge of grapefruit for garnish

Place a couple sage leaves (torn in half)  at the bottom of each serving glass, fill with ice.

Add about 2 ounces of grapefruit juice, and top off with sparkling wine.

Serve with additional sage leaves and grapefruit wedge.
