Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Champagne

    Place the bottle of champagne in a bucket filled with ice or in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to serving to ensure it is well chilled.

  2. 2

    Juicing Oranges

    If using fresh oranges for juice, cut them in half and use a juicer or manual press to extract 2 cups of fresh orange juice. Strain the juice if desired to remove pulp.

  3. 3

    Prepare Glasses

    Choose champagne flutes for serving. Make sure they are clean and dry.

  4. 4

    Mix the Mimosa

    In a mixing jug, combine the fresh orange juice and chilled champagne. Use a gentle stirring motion to mix without losing too much carbonation.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour the mimosa mixture into the prepared champagne flutes, filling them halfway. Garnish with a slice of fresh orange on the rim if desired.
