The story of grit, sparkle & Steel.
Danielle Steel knows how to sell a story. With over 190 published novels, over 800 million copies sold, her name a regular on the New York Times best seller list, and a mother of nine, she could give a masterclass on multitasking. Steel’s rich and complex life mirrors the heroines in her books, and “All That Glitters” (named after one of Steel’s bestsellers “All That Glitters”) captures the complexity of sweet and sour and sparkle of a Danielle Steel novel.

ALL THAT GLITTERS
INGREDIENTS
YIELD: 1 serving
- Prosecco – I used Luna Nida Prosecco
- Grapefruit juice
- 5-6 mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon of agave syrup
- grapefruit wedge garnish
- a sprinkle of Brew Glitter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pour agave into a mixing glass and muddle with the mint leaves.
- Pour muddled mint syrup into a champagne flute or fancy glass.
- Fill 2/3 of the glass with prosecco.
- Top with grapefruit juice.
- Sprinkle Brew Glitter on top to your liking. The general rule of thumb for glitter is that a little goes a long way.
- Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and/or mint sprig.
TRY THIS
Substitute agave syrup with a infused mint honey. Combine 1/2 cup of honey with a 1/4 cup of mint leaves. Simmer and stir frequently, until the honey is fully dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain out the mint leaves.
I used bottled grapefruit juice, but you can try making your own grapefruit puree by peeling the grapefruit and adding it to a high-speed blender Blend unil liquified.
Pour the puree into the glass, add prosecco and top with the mint-infused honey.
Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and/or mint sprig.
