Made with sparkling wine and orange juice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-a-mimosa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-a-mimosa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mimosas<\/a> are deliciously fresh with the perfect level of zest and zing to make them a stellar pairing with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-brunch-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-brunch-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best brunch recipes<\/a>. Plus, classic mimosa recipes can be customized in many different ways, so the drink never grows boring. Experiment with various fruit juices and liqueurs, or say nay to the booze and mix up mocktails. There are plenty of options to help make brunch a resounding success.<\/p>\n<h2>What sparkling wine should you use for mimosas?<\/h2>\n<p>Just about any sparkling wine works for this mimosa beverage recipe. But here&#8217;s a pro tip: Save your good champagne for special occasions, and reach for a decent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-cheap-champagne\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-cheap-champagne\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cheap champagne<\/a> because the OJ will stifle the nuances of the bottled bubbles. Beyond that, the best sparkling wine for mimosas depends on your taste preferences. If you like them not so sweet, look for bubbles labeled brut nature, brut or semi-dry (which has a touch of sweetness). For a sweet mimosa, try Prosecco or look for traditional method sparkling wine like champagne, Cava and Cremant with the labels dry, demi-sec or doux (the sweetest level).<\/p>\n<h2>Mimosa Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sparkling wine:<\/strong> Bubbles serve as the base for your mimosas. Whether you opt for Champagne or sparkling wine, sweet or not-so-sweet, this is the starting point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange juice:<\/strong> The sweet zesty flavor from freshly squeezed orange juice beats store-bought any day of the week, but a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-orange-juice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-orange-juice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">orange juice brands<\/a> come pretty close. Choose one with pulp or without\u2014it&#8217;s all about what you like best!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Triple Sec: <\/strong>Whether it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cointreau-vs-triple-sec-vs-grand-marnier\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cointreau-vs-triple-sec-vs-grand-marnier\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Triple Sec, Cointreau or Grand Marnier<\/a>, orange liqueur is used in everything from margaritas to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/orange-dessert-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/orange-dessert-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">orange desserts<\/a>. Although it&#8217;s not required to make mimosas, a splash of Triple Sec brings a sweet, citrusy flavor that complements and enhances the orange juice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange slice:<\/strong> A slice of orange or an orange twist is also optional but serves as a simple garnish to jazz up your mimosas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Pour the champagne<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2110081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mimosa-TOHVS23_37187_BL_04_05_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"horizontal shot of a hand pouring sparkling wine from a bottle into a glass, with the backdrop being a dark\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Slowly pour the sparkling wine into a champagne flute or wine glass.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the Triple Sec and orange juice<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2110082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mimosa-TOHVS23_37187_BL_04_05_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"horizontal shot of a person pouring a yellow liquid from a glass pitcher into a glass; a bottle of sparkling wine is in the background on a wooden surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gently pour the Triple Sec and orange juice into the glass.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2110083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mimosa-TOHVS23_37187_BL_04_05_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"closeup shot of a hand gently placing a slice of orange into a glass of champagne; a bottle of sparkling wine is in the background to the left of the image; the background is black\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Garnish with an orange slice if desired.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2110084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mimosa-TOHcom24_37187_DR_05_21_18b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Table view shot of Mimosa; served in three glasses; garnished with orange slices; coaster; marble background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Mimosa Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make mimosas without Triple Sec:<\/strong> Leave out the Triple Sec altogether, or substitute another orange liqueur like Grand Marnier, which has a richer, more intense orange flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try other liqueurs: <\/strong>A liqueur like Chambord (raspberry), Licor 43 (vanilla), St. Germain (elderflower) or Chinola (passion fruit) can play the same role as Triple Sec while adding another dimension to your mimosas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use different juices:<\/strong> Ruby red grapefruit, cranberry, pomegranate, grape, blood orange or mango juice can be used instead of orange juice.

If you want to serve the fizziest, most bubbly mimosas, they should be made right before serving. Thankfully, mixing mimosas is a breeze. If you&#8217;re hosting a crowd, you can set up a mimosa bar so folks can make and customize their own mimosas.<\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s no escaping the need to batch mimosas, grab a large pitcher and slowly fill it with one standard 750ml bottle of sparkling wine. Gently stir in 3 cups orange juice and 3\/4 cup Triple Sec, then pop the pitcher in the fridge until you&#8217;re ready to start pouring.<\/p>\n<h2>Mimosa Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2110085\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mimosa-TOHcom24_37187_DR_05_21_19b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close shot of Mimosa; served in glasses; coaster; marble background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you make mimosas for a crowd?<\/h3>\n<p>Batch cocktails take the hassle out of entertaining a group, but you can also set up a mimosa bar. If you want everything ready to go as soon as your first guests walk through your door, prepare as many pitchers as you need. If you&#8217;re wondering, <em>how much champagne do you need for mimosas? <\/em> The general rule is one bottle of champagne per every three people, figuring folks will probably want a refill or two.<\/p>\n<h3>What else can you serve with mimosas?<\/h3>\n<p>As the ultimate brunch cocktail, our best mimosa recipe will go beautifully with all your favorite brunch and mid-morning fare.

Most people enjoy mimosas on the unsweet side. If that\u2019s you, then look for sparkling wines labeled dry, semi-dry, extra brut or brut nature. If you like them sweet, grab a bottle of doux, demi sec or dry. Yes, that last one sounds out of place, but in the classification of sparkling wines, dry is around a medium sweetness level.  \r\n\r\nAs for the brand of champagne or sparkling wine, the orange juice is going to mask a lot of the subtle characteristics of a pricey wine. That\u2019s why most people opt for something on the less expensive side. Prosecco, Cava and sparkling wines in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-cheap-champagne\/\">$10-$20 range<\/a> are usually a good choice.  \r\n<h3>What are some variations of the classic mimosa recipe? <\/h3>If you want the freshest and, frankly, the best flavor, always opt for squeezing your own oranges. You can leave the pulp in or strain it out depending on your personal preference. For a twist on the classic, try using ruby red grapefruit juice, lemon juice, cranberry juice or even watermelon juice. <h3>Can you make mimosas ahead of time?<\/h3>Nope! Well, maybe. If you want the bubbliest mimosa (or any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/champagne-cocktail-recipes\/ \">champagne cocktail<\/a>), they should be made to order. There\u2019s just no way around that. The good thing is that they\u2019re so easy to prepare\u2014the most difficult thing is opening the champagne bottle, and trust us, it\u2019s really not that difficult if you follow a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-open-a-champagne-bottle-the-right-way\/ \">few simple rules<\/a>. If you really must make a batch ahead of time, you can slowly pour one 750 ml bottle of chilled champagne or sparkling wine into a pitcher. Then stir in 3 cups orange juice and 3\/4 cup Triple Sec. \r\n\r\n<div>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/author\/jschend\/\">James Schend<\/a>, <i>Taste Recipes<\/i> Deputy Culinary Editor<\/div>"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes &amp; Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
