Best Classic Mimosa
- PREP 5min
- TOTAL 5min
This is my favorite mimosa recipe. The ratio is simple: equal parts sparkling wine and orange juice. Mimosas are perfect for brunch, birthdays, holidays, and weddings.
For the best mimosa, use a dry sparkling wine, not sweet. Look for “dry” or “brut” on the bottle. This recipe will work with Champagne, Spanish Cava, Prosecco, and an American sparkling wine. Use something you enjoy.
You Will Need
1 (750ml) bottle chilled dry sparkling wine
3 cups (750ml) chilled orange juice, we recommend freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup (120ml) Grand Marnier, optional for Grand Mimosas
Directions
Fill eight champagne flutes half full with chilled sparkling wine. Top with orange juice.
For Grand Mimosas, add one tablespoon of Grand Marnier to each glass before adding the wine and orange juice.
