Method
Preparation (per 2 servings or 2 flutes)
- 1
Chill and prepare glassware
Place flutes or stemmed glasses in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or fill them briefly with ice water while preparing ingredients. If serving in a pitcher, chill the pitcher and keep extra sparkling wine cold.
- 2
Measure juices
For two servings, pour 1/2 cup of the chosen juice (orange, grapefruit, pineapple, or cranberry) into a small measuring cup or carafe. If making two different flavor mimosas, measure 1/4 cup of two juices accordingly (for example, 1/4 cup OJ + 1/4 cup pineapple for a blended flavor).
- 3
Optional: prepare seasonal purée
If using a seasonal purée (peach, mango, or blood orange), stir or thin 2 teaspoons of purée with a splash (about 1 tsp) of the chosen juice so it incorporates smoothly into the glass rather than sinking to the bottom.
- 4
Make a Sunrise mimosa
For the sunrise (OJ & grenadine) pour 1/2 cup orange juice into the flute and carefully add 1 tablespoon grenadine down the inside of the glass — the grenadine will sink and create a gradient. Do not stir.
- 5
Combine sparkling wine
Hold the chilled sparkling wine at a slight angle and slowly top each flute with 1/2 cup (approximately) of sparkling wine. Pour gently to preserve bubbles and minimize foam. For best proportions, use roughly equal parts juice and sparkling wine (1:1).
- 6
Assemble other flavors
For grapefruit, pineapple, or cranberry mimosas: place 1/2 cup chosen juice in the flute, then top slowly with 1/2 cup sparkling wine. If you thinned seasonal purée, spoon it into the bottom of the flute before adding juice and wine so it disperses visually.
- 7
Garnish and serve
Garnish each flute with the corresponding fruit: orange wheel for OJ, grapefruit twist for grapefruit, pineapple wedge for pineapple, and a few cranberries or a mint sprig for cranberry. Serve immediately while bubbles are active.

Pitcher method (serves 6–8)
For a larger batch, in a chilled pitcher combine 3 cups of your chosen juice (or a mix of juices) with 3 cups chilled sparkling wine. If making sunrise for a pitcher, add grenadine individually to each glass rather than the pitcher to preserve the layered effect. Keep chilled and pour into chilled flutes when ready.
