Ingredients
Scale
- 750 ml Champagne or Sparkling Wine (dry or brut variety)
- 1 cup (240 ml) Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Triple Sec or Orange Liqueur (optional)
- Fresh Strawberries or Raspberries (optional garnish)
- Mint Leaves (optional garnish)
- Lemon or Lime Zest (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your champagne or sparkling wine and glasses in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Cut oranges in half and juice them to extract about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh orange juice. Strain to remove seeds if desired.
- In a mixing pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Triple Sec if using. Stir gently to blend.
- Slowly pour 750 ml of chilled champagne into the juice mixture, pouring down the side of the glass or over a spoon to preserve bubbles. Adjust ratio to taste.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry or raspberry, a sprig of mint, and a sprinkle of lemon or lime zest if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill champagne and glasses before serving to keep bubbles lively. Pour champagne slowly over a spoon or glass side to preserve bubbles. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling water or sparkling grape juice and omit the orange liqueur. Prepare juice and liqueur mix ahead but add champagne just before serving to maintain fizz. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup if mimosa is too tart.
