How to Make a Mimosa

Mimosa cocktail with a lemon twist

Mimosa cocktails have been one of the most popular drinks to serve before noon since champagne met orange juice at the breakfast table. The small amount of naturally sweet orange juice perfectly compliments the dry, light taste of a large variety of sparkling wines. You can use champagne, brut, prosecco, muscato or any other type of bubbly that you like to drink.

Whether you choose to use premade orange juice or a few ounces of juice made from freshly squeezed oranges, the flavor of this cocktail will consistently turn out to be delicious. This cocktail also lends itself well to the addition of liqueurs. When you add a half-ounce of fruit-based liqueurs like pomegranate, grapefruit, lemon, or pear, you create simple cocktails that appropriate for any occasion. Treat yourself to one of these classic drinks and discover what you’ve been missing at the weekend breakfast table.

Recipe
1.5 ounces orange juice
5 ounces bubbly

 Pro Tip
To keep your bubbly from overflowing, tilt your glass to a 45-degree angle as you pour in the champagne and pour slowly.
