1 cup Ice cubes (optional; use sparingly to avoid diluting)4 each Champagne flutes or tall pilsner glasses

Method

Prep

Chill components

Place the Ciderboys hard cider and the orange juice in the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving so both are thoroughly chilled. If using sparkling water, chill that as well.

Slice 4 thin orange wheels and, if using, slice strawberries and pick mint sprigs. Keep fruit chilled until ready to garnish.

Assemble Mimosas

Prepare glasses

If you prefer a slightly colder drink without much dilution, pre-chill the flutes in the freezer for 10–15 minutes. Remove just before pouring.

Place one orange slice into each champagne flute (optional). If you like, add one or two strawberry slices into each glass for a hint of extra fruit flavor.

If using ice, add a couple of small ice cubes to each glass now. Note: ice will dilute the drink; typically mimosas are served without ice.

Combine liquids

Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh orange juice into each glass (4 glasses total = 1 cup). Then gently pour 3/4 cup (180 ml) Ciderboys hard cider into each glass, pouring slowly down the side to preserve carbonation (4 glasses total = 3 cups). If you prefer a lighter, less boozy version, top each glass with about 2 tablespoons (15 ml) of chilled sparkling water or club soda (4 × 2 tbsp = 0.5 cup) to add extra fizz.

Do not stir vigorously. If any bubbles rise, let them settle briefly so the drink stays effervescent.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish each flute with the reserved orange slice on the rim and add a mint sprig if desired. For a decorative touch, slide a strawberry slice onto the rim or float it on top.

Serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Recommend enjoying within a few minutes for best carbonation and flavor.
