Between the vibrant sapphire color and perfectly placed mint sprig atop this drink (because what is a mimosa without its fancy garnish?), this mimosa recipe looks almost too pretty to drink. Almost.

2-1/4 ounces fresh blackberry juice
5 spearmint leaves
Coarse sugar, for muddling
1/4 ounce simple syrup
