Grape Sparklers

• 4 pounds red grapes, stemmed
• One 750-milliliter bottle dry sparkling wine, such as Prosecco, chilled
• 8 mint sprigs

1. Thinly slice 1 cup of the grapes and refrigerate.
2. In a food processor, coarsely chop the remaining grapes in batches.
3. Transfer the chopped grapes to a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
4. Cook until the grapes have released most of their juice, 5 minutes.
5. Working in batches, strain the grape juice into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids.
6. You should have about 3 1/2 cups of juice; refrigerate until cold.
7. Divide the sliced grapes equally among 8 Champagne flutes.
8. Pour the chilled fresh grape juice into the flutes and top with the sparkling wine.
9. Garnish each drink with a mint sprig and serve right away.
