Introduction
- When it comes to sweet and refreshing cocktails that are easy to make and sure to impress, Mimosas are the cream of the crop. Originally invented in Paris in the early 1920's, the mimosa has become an enduring cocktail that few can resist. Whether it's as an early morning pick me-up or a brunch-time cocktail, mimosas are delicious and extremely easy to make. So if you're looking to add a little class to your mid-day celebration, break out the bubbly and get ready for a beautiful buzz!
Mimosa Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to serve your mimosas directly after pouring them. If you wait too long, the carbonation from the champagne will dissipate and you will have a flat cocktail.
- For a better mimosa, use fresh squeezed orange juice and high quality dry champagne.
- If you want to make a non-alcoholic mimosa , simply substitute sparkling apple juice for the champagne.
- While you may be tempted to add ice to cool down the drink, it can dilute the cocktail and give it a watery taste.
- Prechill the glasses to help keep the Mimosa cold.
- Experiment with orange juice blends, such as orange-tangerine or orange-grapefruit, for a different twist on the traditional mimosa.
- Serving the mimosa in a champagne flute concentrates the carbonation.
