Ingredients

4 oz. orange juice
4 oz. champagne prosecco or Cava

Instructions

In a wine glass or a champagne flute, measure out equal parts of orange juice and sparkling wine.
Garnish with fresh fruit, an orange peel or with nothing at all, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Mimosas can be changed up easily by swapping out orange juice for another fruit-based juice.

Here are a few ideas to add unique flavors to your mimosa if you don’t want to use orange juice:

Apple Cider Mimosa—grab your favorite apple cider from the store and use that in place of the orange juice. Garnish with some apple slices and consider adding a cinnamon-sugar rim.
Prosecco Mimosa—simply pick up your favorite bottle of prosecco and use that instead of champagne
Strawberry Mimosa—add a splash of strawberry simple syrup to the orange and champagne mixture to make a Strawberry Mimosa. Garnish with a fresh strawberry!
Cranberry Mimosa—instead of orange juice, use unsweetened cranberry juice. Also, consider adding a splash of simple syrup if this is too tart for you. Garnish with fresh cranberries! (This is similar to a Cranberry Bellini, fyi.)
Pineapple Mimosa—use pineapple juice instead of orange juice… or even find a pineapple-orange juice combination to make this variety! Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge.
Mango Mimosa—instead of orange juice, use mango juice and garnish it with a slice or two of fresh mango.
