Ingredients

  • 4 oz. orange juice
  • 4 oz. champagne prosecco or Cava

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a wine glass or a champagne flute, measure out equal parts of orange juice and sparkling wine.
  2. Garnish with fresh fruit, an orange peel or with nothing at all, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Mimosas can be changed up easily by swapping out orange juice for another fruit-based juice.
  • Here are a few ideas to add unique flavors to your mimosa if you don’t want to use orange juice:
  • Apple Cider Mimosa—grab your favorite apple cider from the store and use that in place of the orange juice. Garnish with some apple slices and consider adding a cinnamon-sugar rim.
  • Prosecco Mimosa—simply pick up your favorite bottle of prosecco and use that instead of champagne
  • Strawberry Mimosa—add a splash of strawberry simple syrup to the orange and champagne mixture to make a Strawberry Mimosa. Garnish with a fresh strawberry!
  • Cranberry Mimosa—instead of orange juice, use unsweetened cranberry juice. Also, consider adding a splash of simple syrup if this is too tart for you. Garnish with fresh cranberries! (This is similar to a Cranberry Bellini, fyi.)
  • Pineapple Mimosa—use pineapple juice instead of orange juice… or even find a pineapple-orange juice combination to make this variety! Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge.
  • Mango Mimosa—instead of orange juice, use mango juice and garnish it with a slice or two of fresh mango.
