2/11/16 O&A NYC VALENTINE SPECIAL: Champagne- Sorbet Floats

Champagne-Sorbet-Floats-crop

Two major adult breakfast perks are drinking champagne and eating ice cream (or in this case, sorbet). Champagne cocktails are a celebration of our adult independence, not to mention a gateway aphrodisiac to the “Morning Mambo”.   Enjoy it immediately with a few sips and a spoon, or let the sorbet melt into the champagne, creating an ice-cold, sweet drink. This cocktail gets more fruity as it melts. This float is reminiscent of a Bellini, made just slightly tart with the addition of lemon sorbet.

Ingredients 
1 pint lemon sorbet
1 pint raspberry sorbet
1 (750-milliliter) bottle champagne, chilled

Preparation
1. Put a small scoop of the lemon sorbet into each of 8 glasses. Top with a small scoop of the raspberry sorbet. Slowly fill the glasses with the champagne. Serve immediately. Serves 8

GUESS Founder and Chief Creative Officer Paul Marciano related the following, “Growing up he wore and loved our jeans with the triangle logo on the back pocket and this line is tapping into his incredible artistic vision to create a modern heritage-driven line. It is a denim-heavy collection with quintessential 90’s influences seen in oversized denim jackets, overalls and logo-centric styles.Thus, we get offerings in light blue acid washes, tencel fabrics and pinstripes, alongside GUESS logo crop tanks and varsity jackets. Perhaps the most obvious graphic reference is the reworked “GUESS Jeans USA” logotype, now altered to read “GUE$$” throughout both women’s and menswear collections.

Now the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is getting toned down for a simplistic black and white color known as the Air Jordan 1 “Cyber Monday”. The entire upper is encased in a black remastered leather while a white on white midsole/outsole combination adds a clean finish.
