Watermelon Mimosas

Ingredients:
– one-third watermelon, (preferably chilled)
– 1 bottle champagne, chilled

Instructions:

1. Scoop all of the watermelon flesh into your blender, leaving the sour green part behind.
2. Blend until it is completely smooth. Pour the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Use a spoon to stir and press all of the juice through the strainer, then discard the solids.
3. Fill each Champagne flute about halfway up with Champagne then carefully fill each glass with watermelon juice, leaving about an inch of room at the top.
