• 3 parts champagne

• 2 parts orange juice

• Splash of Cointreau or Grand Marnier, if desired

• Champagne flute(s)

1. Make sure to chill both the champagne and the orange juice at least an hour before serving.

2. Decide on how many Mimosas you want to make and set out that number of champagne flutes

3. Pour 2 oz. of orange juice into each of the glasses you've laid out.

4. Add a small amount of orange liqueur to each glass.

5. Fill the rest of each glass with champagne (about 3 oz.) and stir well.

1. Make sure to serve your mimosas directly after pouring them. If you wait too long, the carbonation from the champagne will dissipate, leaving you with a flat cocktail.
2. For a better mimosa, use fresh squeezed orange juice and high quality dry champagne.
3. If you want to make a non-alcoholic mimosa, simply substitute sparkling apple juice for the champagne.
4. While you may be tempted to add ice to cool down the drink, it can dilute the cocktail and give it a watery taste.
5. Prechill the glasses to help keep the Mimosa cold.
6. Experiment with orange juice blends, such as orange-tangerine or orange-grapefruit, for a different twist on the traditional mimosa.
