A Prosecco Mimosa is a simple drink, but perfect for a brunch or gathering. You can make it with only 2 ingredients or add more flavor options.
A mimosa is a simple drink, but great for so many occasions. We like to make ours with Prosecco and orange juice. That’s all it takes! You just need equal parts Prosecco to orange juice.
What is a mimosa? A traditional mimosa is a mix of sparkling wine and orange juice. They can be topped with other drinks to garnish, such as Chambord, vodka, or even whiskey. But for us, simple is best, so we decided to use some Italian Prosecco! It reminds me a bit of our Orange Mojito, but it’s also still very different.
What is the best occasion for a Prosecco Mimosa?
Just about any special occasions. They are a light drink, and very smooth. Because of the orange juice, they are often enjoyed in the morning or with brunch. They are the perfect cocktail for:
- Christmas morningÂ
- A holiday gathering
- The holiday season
- Bridal showersÂ
- Baby showers (just not for the momma-to-be)
- A small birthday gathering
- Easter Sunday
- Mother’s Day
- A girl’s trip
- Valentine’s Day
- Sunday brunch
Serving Options
You can always dress up your mimosa if you want something a little more fancy. Or maybe you are looking for a different flavor to make the best mimosas. Here are some ideas if you want to host a mimosa bar:
- Add a splash of different fruit juices or citrus juice to the mimosa such as pineapple juice (for Hawaiian mimosas), grapefruit juice, lime juice, or a splash of cranberry juice
- Top the drink with  a splash of Grenadine, Chambord, vodka, Whiskey, Grand Marnier, dark rum, or orange liqueur
- Garnish with fresh fruit: place a slice of strawberry, orange slices (from a blood orange), or a few bits of pomegranate at the bottom of the glass
- Add a tablespoon of fruit puree at the bottom
How can I make a Non-Alcoholic Mimosa?
A classic Mimosa recipe is typically made with either sparkling wine or champagne. To replicate that bubbly cocktail feeling without the alcohol, you can substitute it for ginger ale, sprite, or 7Up. Since a mimosa is equal parts champagne and orange juice, use the same ratio with another bubbly drink. You could also try it with sparkling grape juice or seltzer water. As long as it has carbonation to add the bubbles to the drink.
What Type of Glass is best for Mimosa Cocktails?
You can use your personal preference of glasses, but we like to use a champagne flute. They aren’t too big but hold enough for a decent amount of the drink. You could also make these in a wine glass or any other cocktail glass.
Prosecco Mimosa Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Prosecco
- 1.5 cups fresh Orange Juice
Preparation
Pour 4 oz out of the bottle of Prosecco into 6Â champagne flutes. Top with 4 oz of orange juice in each flute. DO NOT MIX. By pouring the Prosecco in first, the bubbles will help mix everything. If you stir the drink it can make the Prosecco go flat. Serve immediately.
Leftovers
I do not recommend saving any of the Prosecco mimosa after serving. It will go flat quickly. This is a drink best made fresh.
