A Mimosa is a classic, bright brunch cocktail made with equal parts chilled sparkling wine and cold orange juice.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces sparkling wine (chilled)
- 2 ounces orange juice (chilled)
- orange wheel (garnish)
Instructions
- Chill everything: Ensure both your sparkling wine and orange juice are thoroughly refrigerated ahead of time.
- Pour the juice: Add 2 ounces of cold, pulp-free orange juice into a tall champagne flute.
- Top with bubbles: Slowly top the glass with 2 ounces of chilled sparkling wine. (Pouring gently at a slight angle helps control the foam).
- Do not stir: Let the natural carbonation mix the drink so you don't flatten the bubbles.
- Garnish: Add an orange slice to the rim and serve
