Fill your champagne flutes almost halfway with chilled champagne. Top off the rest of the glass with orange juice and enjoy!
Notes
Tips for Making
If using fresh orange juice, make sure to strain your juice so you get a smooth liquid for your drink.
Chill both your champagne and orange juice to get the perfect chilled cocktail (don’t add ice to chill it, that will negatively affect how bubbly your drink is).
If you don’t have champagne flutes, wine glasses are the next best drinkware option.
When pouring your champagne, let the drink pour down the side of the glass rather than pour it aimed at the bottom of the glass. Pouring it along the inside will help maintain carbonation.
Add an optional garnish of an orange wedge or strawberry slice to the rim of the glass.
Mimosa Variations
Grand Mimosa: Add a tablespoon of Grand Marnier to your glass before the other ingredients to enhance the orange flavor in your Mimosa.
Sherbet Mimosa: Simply add a small scoop of fruity sherbet to the top of your Mimosa and you have a cool and delicious summer treat!
Strawberry Grapefruit Mimosa: Add grapefruit juice and sliced strawberries in a cocktail shaker. After shaking, let the strawberries flavor the juice for a few hours before pouring into a glass and topping with champagne.
Lemosa: Use lemonade instead of orange juice for a fresh take on the classic.
