Toast Mom at a Mother's Day brunch with this "grown up" creamsicle beverage. For the kiddos, make a non-alcoholic version with non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling cider, or ginger ale. —Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri

Ingredients:
• 2-1/2 cups orange juice
• 1 cup half-and-half cream
• 3/4 cup superfine sugar
• 4 teaspoons grated orange peel
•
• 2 bottles (750 milliliters each) Champagne or other sparkling wine
• Fresh strawberries


1. Place the orange juice, cream, sugar and orange peel in a blender; cover and process until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to an 8-in. square dish. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

2. For each serving, scoop 1/4 cup mix into a champagne glass; top with Champagne. Garnish with a strawberry and serve immediately.


For non-alcoholic version: Substitute champagne with 2 bottles (750 milliliters each) sparkling apple cider.
