Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 3 oz Sparkling wine (Champagne, Prosecco, or Cava)
- 1 piece Orange slice or twist (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill both the orange juice and sparkling wine in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before making the mimosa to ensure optimal freshness and flavor.
Select a champagne flute or your preferred glass for serving. Ensure the glass is clean and dry.
Pour 3 oz of orange juice into the glass. Tilt the glass slightly while pouring to minimize foaming.
Slowly pour 3 oz of sparkling wine into the glass, holding the bottle at an angle to preserve carbonation.
Gently stir the mixture with a cocktail spoon or gently swirl the glass to combine the orange juice and sparkling wine.
Optional: Garnish the rim of the glass with an orange slice or add a twist of orange peel as a decorative touch.
Serve immediately while the mimosa is still cold and bubbly.
