Our mimosa recipe strikes the perfect balance between Champagne and orange juice, ensuring you'll never prepare mimosas the same way again.

Creating Mimosas :

While a comprehensive list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions is provided in the following recipe, let's review the essentials:

Exploring the Mimosa :

A mimosa is a simple 2-ingredient cocktail composed of orange juice and Champagne. Named after the yellow-flowered mimosa plant, it's a classic choice for brunch or daytime festivities.

What Comprises a Mimosa?

Mimosa ratios can vary, but our recipe calls for one part orange juice to three parts Champagne. This recipe yields two servings, so be sure to divide it evenly between two glasses.

Crafting a Mimosa

Merely distribute the orange juice evenly into two Champagne glasses and crown it with Champagne. That's all there is to it! For more detailed guidance, refer to the complete, step-by-step recipe below.

Pro Tip

Ensure both ingredients are thoroughly chilled before preparing your mimosas.

Selecting Champagne for Mimosas

Opt for a Champagne labeled "brut" or "extra brut." These drier varieties harmonize perfectly with the sweetness of the orange juice.

Can Prosecco Be Used for Mimosas?

Certainly! Prosecco is a popular choice for mimosas due to its affordability and slightly fruitier flavor. You can substitute prosecco for Champagne using a 1:1 ratio.

How Many Mimosas from a Bottle of Champagne?

With a standard 750 mL Champagne bottle, this recipe will yield approximately 8.5 mimosas.

Crafting a Larger Batch of Mimosas

While it's possible to prepare a sizable batch of mimosas ahead of an event, the results will be fresher and more effervescent if you pour the Champagne over the orange juice just before serving.
