Method
Mimosa Base
Chill components
Place the bottle of sparkling wine and the orange juice in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Mimosas are best served very cold.
Pour juice
Pour orange juice into each flute first, filling to about one-third of the glass (approximately 60–75 ml per 150–180 ml glass). Pouring juice first helps control the ratio and reduces foaming when adding sparkling wine.
Add sparkling wine
Slowly top each glass with chilled sparkling wine, pouring gently down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles. Fill to about two-thirds full (roughly 120–150 ml), maintaining a roughly 1:1 to 1:2 sparkling wine to orange juice ratio depending on taste.
Gently stir (optional)
If needed, give the drink a very gentle swirl or one short stir with a bar spoon to integrate, but avoid vigorous stirring to preserve carbonation.
Optional Variations & Garnish
Classic Cadillac Mimosa (optional)
For a richer, more complex mimosa, add about 5–15 ml of Grand Marnier or another orange liqueur into each glass before pouring the sparkling wine. Adjust to taste.
Sweeter mimosa (optional)
If your orange juice is tart and you prefer a sweeter drink, add 5–10 ml simple syrup to each glass before topping with sparkling wine. Stir gently.
Garnish
Garnish each glass with an orange slice or twist on the rim. For a festive touch, drop a berry (strawberry slice or raspberry) into the drink.
Serve
Serve immediately while the sparkling wine is still fizzy. Offer extra orange juice and sparkling wine on the side for guests who want to adjust ratios.
