Two Simple Ingredients Only!
You only need two ingredients for a classic Mimosa: champagne or sparkling wine and orange juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice is always preferred for the best flavor, but high-quality store-bought juice works too.
The Perfect Ratio:
There's no single right answer, but a popular ratio is a 50/50 mix of champagne and orange juice. You can adjust this to your preference – for a more bubbly drink, use more champagne, and for a more citrusy flavor, add more orange juice.
Chilled is Key:
Make sure both your champagne or sparkling wine and orange juice are well chilled before serving. This ensures a refreshing and bubbly drink.
The Art of the Flute:
Traditionally, Mimosas are served in champagne flutes. However, you can use any clear glass you like, such as a coupe glass or even a wine glass.
A Touch of Garnish (Optional):
For a festive touch, garnish your Mimosa with a wedge of orange or a fresh sprig of mint.
Bonus Tip:
Get creative with your Mimosas! Try different fruit juices like grapefruit, cranberry, or even peach nectar. You can also add a splash of liqueur for a twist, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
