Classic Mimosa
Variations & Optional Add-ins
Method
Classic Mimosa
Chill
Ensure both the sparkling wine and orange juice are well chilled (about 4–8°C / 39–46°F). If preparing in a pitcher, optionally add 1/2 cup ice to the pitcher to chill it, then discard ice before pouring to avoid diluting the drink.
Ratio & Pour
Use a 1:1 ratio of sparkling wine to orange juice for a classic mimosa. For each serving (~1/2 cup sparkling wine + 1/2 cup orange juice), pour the orange juice into the bottom of a flute or coupe first, then gently pour the chilled sparkling wine down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with an orange slice or twist on the rim. Serve immediately while effervescent.
Variations & Optional Add-ins
Orange liqueur: For a boozier, more aromatic mimosa, add 2 tsp orange liqueur to each glass before adding orange juice and sparkling wine.
Fruit-forward: Drop 2–3 fresh berries into each glass before pouring the liquids for color and subtle flavor infusion.
Sweeter: If your oranges are tart, add up to 1 tsp simple syrup per glass and stir gently before topping with sparkling wine.
Herbal garnish: Clap mint leaves between your palms to release aroma and float them on top as a refreshing garnish.
