What is Mimosa?

Mimosa is a delightful cocktail renowned for its refreshing blend of Champagne and citrus, traditionally featuring orange juice. This classic combination has graced brunch tables for decades, bringing a touch of effervescence to mornings.

However, the ever-evolving world of mixology has led to delightful variations. Some modern enthusiasts experiment with different sparkling wines like Prosecco or Cava, infusing a splash of cranberry, pineapple, or pomegranate juice to complement the citrus element.

Mimosa, in all its forms, is a perfect cocktail for brightening up your mornings or adding a touch of elegance to special occasions.

Ingredients

4 ounces (120 ml) sparkling wine
2 ounces (60 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
An orange slice, for garnish

Crafting Mimosa

The Mimosa recipe begins by ensuring your ingredients are chilled to perfection. Both your sparkling wine and fruit juice should be ice-cold.

Pour your sparkling wine into Lucaris Crystal Champagne Glass, filling it roughly halfway. Follow this up with the fresh orange juice in a ratio of one part fruit juice to two parts wine. Gently stir to blend them together without sacrificing the delightful carbonation.

Serve it with a freshly cut, round orange slice perched on the rim.
