A classic mimosa drink is a simple yet elegant cocktail that's perfect as welcome drink, for brunch or any celebratory occasion.
Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 part orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
- 1 part champagne (or sparkling wine)
- Optional: orange slices or twists for garnish
Instructions:
-
Chill the Ingredients: Ensure both the orange juice and champagne are well chilled before preparing the drink.
-
Prepare the Glass: Select a champagne flute for serving. This helps retain the bubbles and adds a touch of elegance.
-
Pour the Orange Juice: Fill the champagne flute halfway with orange juice.
-
Add the Champagne: Slowly top off the glass with champagne, pouring gently to maintain the bubbles.
-
Garnish (Optional): Add a slice of orange or a twist of orange peel to the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
-
Serve Immediately: Mimosas are best enjoyed fresh to experience the full effervescence of the champagne.
Tips:
- Ratio: The classic ratio is 1:1, but you can adjust according to your taste preference. Some prefer a stronger champagne flavor, while others like more orange juice.
- Variations: You can experiment with different types of citrus juices like blood orange, grapefruit, or a mix of citrus for a unique twist.
- Sparkling Wine: If you don’t have champagne, a good quality sparkling wine or prosecco works just as well.
Enjoy your refreshing and delightful mimosa!
