Ingredients
Scale
- 1 part chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine
- 1 part chilled orange juice (fresh-squeezed recommended)
Instructions
- Chill all ingredients thoroughly before mixing.
- Pour the chilled orange juice into a champagne flute.
- Slowly top the juice with the chilled sparkling wine.
- Pour gently to minimize foam.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh-squeezed orange juice.
- Keep the sparkling wine very cold until the moment you pour.
- The standard brunch mimosa ratio is 1:1, but you can adjust this to 1 part champagne to 2 parts juice if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- To calculate quantities for a group, estimate about 3-4 flutes per standard 750ml bottle of sparkling wine.
