Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Chilled sparkling wine (Champagne, Prosecco, or Cava)
- 3 ounces Chilled orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
- 1 piece Orange slice or twist (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill your sparkling wine and orange juice thoroughly before starting. This ensures your mimosa is perfectly refreshing.
Select a champagne flute, as its narrow shape helps preserve the bubbles in the sparkling wine.
Pour 3 ounces of chilled sparkling wine into the champagne flute, filling it about halfway. Tip the glass slightly as you pour to minimize foam and preserve carbonation.
Slowly add 3 ounces of chilled orange juice to the flute. Pour gently to avoid overflowing.
If desired, garnish the edge of the glass with a slice or twist of orange for an elegant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic mimosa!
