Directions

  1. Pour Prosecco into large bowl.
  2. Pour 3/4 cup cold water into small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over and let stand until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add sugar to gelatin mixture and stir over medium-low heat just until sugar and gelatin dissolve, about 5 minutes (do not boil).

  8. Add pinch of salt and orange peel; reduce heat to medium and simmer 15 minutes.
  9. Drain. Return peel to same pan.
  10. Add remaining 3/4 cup water, sugar, and Grand Marnier. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until thick syrup forms and mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Cool peel completely in syrup. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  11. Toss all ingredients in large bowl to blend.
  12. Let stand until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
