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.
