Ingredients
4 oz (120ml) chilled dry sparkling wine (Prosecco, Cava, or Brut Champagne)
2 oz (60ml) chilled fresh orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
Optional: Orange slices, raspberries, or other berries for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Ensure all your ingredients are thoroughly chilled. The colder the sparkling wine and orange juice, the better your mimosa recipe will taste.
Step 2: Gently pour 4 oz of chilled sparkling wine into a champagne flute. To minimize foam and preserve bubbles, tilt the flute slightly and pour slowly down the side.
Step 3: Top with 2 oz of chilled fresh orange juice. You can adjust the ratio slightly based on your preference for sweetness or strength, but the 2:1 wine to juice ratio is classic for this mimosa recipe.
Step 4: If desired, gently garnish with an orange slice, a twist of orange peel, or a few fresh berries. Avoid stirring, as this will cause the bubbles to dissipate faster. Serve your mimosa recipe immediately.
Notes
For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Always pour the sparkling wine first, then the orange juice, to help the flavors meld without excessive stirring. Serve immediately for optimal fizz and refreshment. This mimosa recipe is best when served very cold.
