Classic Mimosa Ingredients
For this Classic Mimosa Recipe just grab a bottle of sparkling wine and orange juice. Finish each glass off by garnishing it with orange slices!
I’ve found the best Mimosa ratio is 2 parts orange juice to 6 parts sparkling wine! If you prefer a stronger Mimosa, just add in more sparkling wine!
Classic Mimosa Substitutions & Variations
You can make this drink with other flavored orange juices, such as orange-pineapple juice! Then garnish the edge of the glasses with both orange slices and pineapple wedges!
Or even with orange-mango juice and hanging wedges of mango and oranges off the rim of the glass! Using blood orange juice would be another delicious variation to try!
Feel free to even add in a bit of simple syrup for more fun flavoring! Try a few drops of Orange Simple Syrup or Strawberry Simple Syrup!
How To Make A Classic Mimosa
- Pour orange juice into your favorite champagne flute.
- Top with champagne or prosecco.
- Dress your Mimosa up by garnishing it with slices of oranges, enjoy!
Rebecca’s Tips
- Swap out the champagne for a sparkling white grape juice, sprite, or even ginger ale for a non-alcoholic mimosa. Keep in mind the final taste will differ from an alcoholic mimosa!
- Chilled sparkling wine will give these Mimosas the best flavor, so be sure to use chilled champagne! Warm mimosas just don’t seem to taste the same!
- Feel free to use a high pulp orange juice or whatever orange juice you enjoy.
- A standard bottle of champagne has 25.4 ounces in it. Since this recipe calls for 6 ounces of champagne per Mimosa you’ll get roughly 4 Mimosas per standard bottle of champagne.
