Serving Size

Equipment

Champagne flutes or other tall, narrow glasses
Measuring cup or jigger
Citrus juicer (if squeezing fresh orange juice)
Bar spoon (optional, for gentle mixing)

Towel or napkin for any spills

Ingredients

1 bottle 750ml chilled Prosecco
Freshly squeezed orange juice about 3–4 medium oranges yields 1 cup
Optional: Orange slices or twists for garnish

Optional: Splash of triple sec or orange liqueur for more flavor

Instructions

Chill glasses and Prosecco in the fridge until very cold
Cut oranges in half and juice them using a citrus juicer

Fill each glass about halfway with chilled Prosecco
Slowly pour orange juice into each glass, filling close to the top
For extra flavor, add a small splash of triple sec or orange liqueur (optional)

Gently stir with a bar spoon if needed
Add an orange slice or twist on the rim for garnish

Notes

I use equal parts Prosecco and orange juice, but sometimes I’ll tweak the ratio depending on who’s drinking.

Some days, I want a stronger mimosa with more wine; other times, I go heavier on the juice.

Fresh-squeezed orange juice has more flavor and less sugar than most store-bought stuff.

If you’re using bottled juice, try to find one without added sugar or extra ingredients.

This cocktail is best served fresh, while it’s still cold and bubbly.

I avoid stirring too hard—otherwise, you lose that fizz.

For a pitcher, I pour the ingredients just before serving so it doesn’t go flat.

Tasting Notes

When I sip a Prosecco Mimosa with orange juice, the first thing I notice is the gentle fizz from the sparkling wine.

The bubbles are crisp and lively, making each sip feel extra refreshing.

The orange juice adds a bright, tangy sweetness that balances out the Prosecco’s dryness.

I like how the flavors blend—neither one takes over.

I smell fresh citrus, which really adds to the drink’s appeal. The aroma reminds me of sunny mornings, and who doesn’t want that?

This cocktail just feels cooling and easy to drink. It’s simple, balanced, and honestly, it highlights both the Prosecco and the orange juice in the best way.

Substitute

Sometimes I just don’t have Prosecco on hand. Or maybe I want to shake things up and try something different.

In those moments, I’ve found a few substitutes that work surprisingly well in a mimosa.

Ingredients

Alternative sparkling wines:
- Cava
- Champagne
- American sparkling wine

Other juices:

Instructions

Pour the sparkling wine into the flute, about halfway up.
Add your juice of choice so the glass is nearly full.

Stir it gently with a spoon—no need to overthink it.

I like that these swaps let me keep enjoying mimosas, even if I’m out of the usual stuff.

Sometimes I’ll even mix up the juices for a fresh twist. Why stick to just orange, right?

If I’m feeling like skipping the booze, I’ll swap in sparkling water or ginger ale instead of wine. Still fizzy, still fun, just no alcohol this time.
