“THE CLASSIC” MIMOSA

Med Bag of Chips

Ham, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and arugula.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard in a whole wheat wrap.

Fit Turkey Wrap

Ensure the Prosecco has been chilled to 45–50°F (7–10°C). Place bottle in refrigerator for at least 3 hours or in an ice bucket for 20–30 minutes before serving.

Chill bottle

If serving from a pitcher for a small group, fill a clean pitcher partially with 1/2 cup ice and set aside. Otherwise skip ice for individual bottle service.

Hold the bottle at a 45° angle from guests or away from people. Remove the foil and loosen the wire cage while keeping a thumb on the cork to prevent sudden release.

Twist the bottle gently (not the cork), slowly easing the cork out with controlled pressure to allow carbonation to release quietly. Expect a gentle hiss, not a loud pop.

Pour the Prosecco into chilled flutes or white wine glasses, tilting the glass and filling to about two-thirds to preserve bubbles and aroma. For a pitcher service, pour the bottle into the prepared pitcher over the ice, then stir gently once to integrate; do not shake.

If using garnishes, add one lemon twist or one halved strawberry or an orange slice to each glass. Place the garnish on the rim or gently drop into the glass—avoid excessive fruit that will overwhelm the wine.

Serve immediately after pouring to preserve effervescence. Advise guests to sip and enjoy the bright, floral, and slightly off-dry character typical of Veneto Prosecco.

If there is leftover Prosecco, reseal with a sparkling wine stopper and refrigerate upright. Consume within 1–3 days for best effervescence and flavor; note bubbles will diminish with time.
