Shopping List

  • Orange Juice
  • Prosecco
  • Orange Liqueur
  • Garnish

Variations and Substitutions

  • Juice – Fresh squeezed OJ is best. Replace classic orange juice with grapefruit juice for a grapefruit mimosa, or use lemon, strawberry, cherry, cranberry and more.
  • Prosecco – Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine that tends to be a touch sweeter than traditional Champagne. Try different brands and styles of Prosecco to mix things up.
  • Orange Liqueur – Optional. Grand Marnier is a great orange liqueur option, but you can also try Cointreau or Triple Sec, or even bitters. 
  • Garnish – Optional, as well. Garnish with pretty fresh flower blooms, fresh fruits, or you can even use herbs like basil, rosemary or thyme.
  • Serve Blended – A frozen mimosa sounds amazing!

Tips

  • Make a Pitcher – Use the 1x2x3x tab in the printable recipe card to multiply servings in the printable recipe card!
  • Use your favorite Champagne flutes – stemless or with an elegant stem. We love these!
  • Fresh Juice – While I’m always a fan of a shortcut (and store bought juice works just fine!) the joy of fresh squeezed juice in a mimosa is out of this world!
  • Quality Prosecco – Because a mimosa is made with such minimal ingredients, you’ll want to allow each to shine. Choose the best ingredients you can!

Best Prosecco for Mimosas

Prosecco is a classic choice for mimosas because it’s a touch sweeter than traditional Champagne bottles. Prosecco is Italian, whereas Champagne is from a specific region in France. Another unique option is Cava, which is a Spanish sparkling wine!

Personally, I don’t use pricey Prosecco for mimosas. The juice disguises much of the nuance you’d see otherwise.

Here’s a few of my favorite Prosecco bottles to try for your mimosas:

  • La Marca Prosecco – Crisp, not too sweet, affordable.
  • Bisol Prosecco – Not too dry or too sweet, organically farmed.
  • Josh Rosé Prosecco – A gorgeous pink that is pretty on your bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are mimosas better with Champagne or Prosecco?

That’s a personal preference, of course. Champagne will be a little dryer and less sweet than Prosecco, so it might depend on your juice to bubbly ratio! Prosecco also tends to be a little less expensive, which can be a great fit for a mimosa bar.

Is Prosecco sweet or dry?

Prosecco wines are actually dry, and even extra dry Brut style. However, the grape is sweeter and lends an overall slightly sweeter style to these bottles.

How to Store

  • At Room Temperature – For up to two hours before and after serving.
  • Refrigerate – Make each mimosa individually. This way you can store the juice and Prosecco individually. Prosecco generally loses its bubbles after about three days in the fridge.
  • Freeze – Turn these mimosas into a frozen slushy by freezing and blending!
