Champagne Mimosas are a sophisticated treat with brunch. Dress them up by serving in tulip glasses on ice or simply multiply the recipe and fill up a pitcher.
If you can swing it, use fresh-squeezed orange juice. Also, we would recommend a dry champagne or sparkling wine (such as a “Cava”), not a sweet wine.
A classic mimosa recipe calls for equal parts sparkling wine to orange juice, however, you can certainly adjust the recipe to have less (or more) alcohol if desired.
For a festive touch, add a splash of cranberry juice.
For something special, add a tablespoon of liqueur like Grand Marnier or Chambord.
For a mimosa mocktail, use sparkling soda.
Pour the champagne or sparkling wine into the glass first. Then, add the orange juice. Do not stir. Optional: Add bitters. Garnish with an orange slice.
