Blood Orange Mimosa
Description
The Blood Orange Mimosa starts by juicing fresh blood oranges, yielding a deep reddish-orange juice with a balance of tartness and sweetness. The juice is mixed with simple syrup or a sugar-water mixture to adjust sweetness according to taste and juice characteristics.
Once sweetened, the juice mixture is poured into a glass partially and topped with well-chilled champagne. Optional fruit slices or balls can be added to enhance the appearance and add subtle flavor from the garnishes.
This drink suits brunches, celebrations, or casual gatherings, offering a colorful twist on the classic mimosa. To create a non-alcoholic mocktail, replace champagne with sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda like 7-Up.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup blood orange juice from about 6-8 oranges.
- 0-½ cup simple syrup or 1/3 cup each water and sugar, or to taste (see note, or sweetener
- 1 bottle champagne well chilled, substitute fizzy water or 7-up style drink for alcohol free
- Fruit optional balls or slices for garnish
Instructions
- Juice the oranges.
- Prepare the fruit if using.
- Blend syrup with the simple syrup or sugar and water if using, until pulp is mostly broken up and sugar (if using) is dissolved.
- Fill the glass 1/4 -1/3 full with juice mixture. If you are using fruit, add it here. Top with champagne (or fizzy water or 7-up for mocktail).
Notes
- The sweetness of blood orange juice varies; adjust simple syrup accordingly to balance tartness.
- Full half cup of simple syrup yields about 1/2 ounce per serving; reduce for fewer calories or less sweetness.
- Choose ripe blood oranges for juicier, more flavorful juice.
- Make a mocktail by substituting champagne with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
