Black plums are one of my favorite things. This is tangy and refreshing and a lovely shade of deep pink. —checker

What You'll Need

  2. Chunk the peeled plum into a blender, removing the pit.
  3. Squirt the juice of one lime wedge into the blender and over the plum.
  4. Blend until smooth.
  5. Drop about a teaspoon of the purée into your serving glasses, and top with the prosecco.

Someone once said, "the wise man knows that he knows nothing at all." Therefore if I spend my days seeking knowledge than I am simply trying to be a better fool. Hopefully I will eat well along the way.
