1
Prepare the Glasses
If desired, rim the glasses with sugar. To do this, rub the rim of each glass with a slice of orange, then dip it into a plate of sugar to coat the rim.
2
Juicing the Oranges
Juice fresh oranges until you have 2 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp if you prefer a smoother texture.
3
Mixing the Mimosa
In a mixing pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice and Champagne or sparkling wine, gently stirring to combine. Be careful not to agitate too much to preserve the bubbles.
4
Serving
Pour the mimosa mixture into the prepared glasses, filling each about two-thirds full. Garnish each drink with a slice of orange and a few fresh mint leaves.
5
Optional Decoration
For an extra touch, float an edible flower on top of each mimosa for a beautiful presentation.
