Blood Orange Mimosa

from Gourmet Magazine, December 2006. I recommend prosecco (a sparkling Italian wine) but 'zaar doesn't recognize it... and of course, any champagne will do nicely!

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3  cups  fresh  blood orange juice (from about 10 oranges)
• 1⁄3 cup Grand Marnier or 1⁄3 cup  other  orange-flavored liqueur
• 1  tablespoon sugar
• 1 (750 ml) bottle  champagne, chilled well

Directions

1. Stir together juice, liqueur, and sugar in a 2-quart pitcher until sugar is dissolved.
2. Chill until cold, about 1 hour.
3. Slowly pour in Prosecco, stirring to combine.
4. Serve immediately.
5. Note: Juice mixture, without Prosecco, can be chilled, covered, up to 1 day. Stir in Prosecco just before serving.
