Mimosas are light and refreshing with any type of juice – but when I added my homemade watermelon juice, magic happened! This watermelon mimosa is sweet but balanced, with the perfect amount of bubbles. It’s such a great way to celebrate with friends and family.

A watermelon mimosa tastes like pure summertime bliss, and I know you’ll love it as much as we do!

Shopping List

  • Prosecco (Or your favorite Champagne or sparkling wine)
  • Watermelon Juice (Fresh watermelon juice is best)
A bottle of La Marca prosecco, a glass of pink watermelon mimosa, and a pitcher filled with the same drink are arranged on a white countertop.

Variations

  • Serve blended for a frozen watermelon mimosa – just toss ingredients with a cup of ice into blender!
  • Add sorbet to make a Sorbet Mimosa.
  • Use my calculations to make Bottomless Mimosas.

Tips

  • Make a Pitcher – Use the sliding bar for servings in the printable recipe card to automatically multiply each ingredient!
  • Quality Prosecco shines here, but don’t go overboard. Much of the nuance of bubbly bottles is lost to the fresh juice!
  • Any Type of Bubbles – Choose your favorite! Champagne is French and Prosecco is Italian. However, another great bottle of bubbly is Cava, a dry Spanish sparkling wine.

Storage Notes

  • At Room Temperature – For up to two hours before and after serving.
  • Refrigerate – Make each mimosa individually so you can store the juice and Champagne individually. Champagne loses bubbles after about three days in the fridge.
  • Freeze – To turn these grapefruit mimosas into a frozen slushy by freezing and blending!
