Classic Mimosa Ingredients
- 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed and chilled)
- 1/2 cup champagne (chilled)
- 1 tablespoon Cointreau (or another orange-flavored liqueur)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Pour the freshly squeezed and chilled orange juice into a champagne flute carefully to avoid splashing.
- Add champagne and liqueur: Gently top the orange juice with chilled champagne, then add one tablespoon of Cointreau for an extra citrus flavor.
- Serve immediately: Serve the mimosa right away to enjoy its fresh and effervescent qualities at their best.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- Chill all ingredients before preparation to keep the drink cold without diluting it with ice.
- Substitute Cointreau with another orange-flavored liqueur if desired, like Grand Marnier.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain carbonation in the champagne.
