Steps:
- Put orange juice, zest, half-and-half, and sugar into a blender and process until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Pour this mixture into a shallow pan and freeze until hard, 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the frozen orange mixture from the freezer and let it sit to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. With a scoop or tablespoon, scrape out a small scoop and put it into a Champagne glass. Slowly fill the glass with Champagne and serve garnished with strawberries.
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST MIMOSA
Mimosas are perfect for brunch, birthdays, holidays, and weddings. For the best mimosa, use a dry sparkling wine, not sweet. We usually will spend $12 to $15 on the sparkling wine we add to our mimosas. Your best bet is to look for "Cava," which comes from Spain, or an American sparkling wine that's around $15. A dry Prosecco is a great option, too.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for mimosas. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use 100% orange juice, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling the orange juice, sparkling wine, and liqueur before making the mimosas will help them stay cold and refreshing.
- Use a good quality sparkling wine: The sparkling wine you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your mimosas. Choose a sparkling wine that you enjoy drinking on its own.
- Add a sugar rim: For a special touch, rim the glasses with sugar before serving the mimosas. This will add a sweet and sparkly touch to the drink.
- Garnish with fruit: Garnish the mimosas with fresh orange slices, raspberries, or blueberries for a festive and refreshing look.
