Peach and Thyme Mimosa
Whether you're a savory-breakfast kinda gal or prefer all things covered in syrup, you'll appreciate this balanced mimosa, which offsets the sweetness of peach with herbaceous thyme.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 peaches, peeled, pitted and quartered
Champagne


Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and sprigs of thyme. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower to a simmer, and continue to cook for five minutes. Remove from heat. Stir. Completely cool in the refrigerator (about 15 minutes). Remove sprigs of thyme, and pour the syrup into a blender.

Add the peaches. Puree mixture until combined and smooth. Divide the peach mixture evenly between four glasses. Pour Champagne into each glass.

Blackberry Mint Mimosa
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.

Ingredients:
2-1/4 ounces fresh blackberry juice
5 spearmint leaves
Coarse sugar, for muddling
1/4 ounce simple syrup
Dry champagne, well-chilled
Fresh blackberries, for garnish (optional)
Spearmint sprig, for garnish (optional)

Directions:
To make the blackberry juice, muddle fresh blackberries and strain the juices through a cheesecloth. Add juice, mint and coarse sugar to a cocktail shaker. Muddle to release mint oils. Add simple syrup and shake well. Strain mixture into a champagne glass. Top off with champagne. Garnish with fresh blackberries and/or mint sprig. Serve.
