Serving Size

Equipment

Champagne flutes
Measuring jigger or shot glass
Champagne stopper (optional)
Small spoon for stirring

Ingredients

For one Mimosa Royale cocktail:

3 oz chilled Champagne or sparkling wine
2 oz fresh orange juice
1/2 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier

Orange slice or twist for garnish optional

Use good quality ingredients for the best taste. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is ideal, but store-bought works too. Pick a dry Champagne or sparkling wine you enjoy drinking on its own.

Instructions

Chill the Champagne flute in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
Pour the orange liqueur into the chilled flute.

Add the fresh orange juice.
Slowly pour in the Champagne or sparkling wine.
Gently stir with a small spoon to mix.

Garnish with an orange slice or twist if desired.

Serve right away while the drink is cold and bubbly.

Notes

Mimosa Royale is best enjoyed fresh. Don’t make it ahead of time or the bubbles will go flat.

You can adjust the ratios to your taste. Some people prefer more Champagne, others like more juice.

For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling water instead of Champagne and skip the orange liqueur.

Be careful when opening the Champagne. Point the bottle away from people and things that could break.

Tasting Notes

The Mimosa Royale Champagne Cocktail offers a blend of flavors and aromas. Its taste is light and refreshing, with a balance of sweet and tart notes.

The first sip reveals the crisp bubbles of champagne. These tickle the tongue and provide a lively sensation. The orange juice adds a bright citrus flavor that complements the wine’s dryness.

A hint of Grand Marnier brings depth to the drink. Its orange essence enhances the juice, while its brandy base adds warmth. This creates a smooth finish that lingers pleasantly.

The cocktail’s color is a soft golden-orange. It sparkles in the glass, inviting sippers to enjoy its effervescence. The aroma is mainly citrusy, with subtle floral notes from the champagne.

Serving temperature affects the taste. Chilled ingredients preserve the bubbles and enhance crispness. As the drink warms slightly, fruity flavors become more noticeable.

Garnishes can add extra dimensions to the taste:

Orange slice: Boosts citrus scent

Strawberry: Adds a sweet berry note
Mint sprig: Provides a cool, fresh accent
