Blood Orange Mimosa Cocktail Recipe
I’m excited to share this delicious and refreshing Blood Orange Mimosa recipe with you! It’s a perfect choice for brunches, celebrations, or just a delightful afternoon treat. Enjoy a zesty twist on the classic mimosa with vibrant blood orange juice.
Equipment
- Juicer: Fresh juice makes all the difference. Use a manual or electric juicer.
- Champagne Flutes: These tall, narrow glasses will keep your drink fizzy and elegant.
- Measuring Cup: Use this to get the proportions just right, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors.
Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make my favorite Blood Orange Mimosa:
- Blood Orange Juice: 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed juice. It's sweeter and more colorful than regular oranges.
- Champagne or Sparkling Wine: 3/4 cup chilled. Prosecco works well if you prefer something less dry.
- Orange Liqueur Optional: 1 tablespoon to add an extra layer of sweetness and aroma.
- Orange Slices or Twists: For garnish. Makes your drink look as amazing as it tastes.
🍊 Freshness is key, so use ripe blood oranges to get the best flavor!
Instructions
Here’s how I like to put this yummy drink together:
- Chill your ingredients. Put your champagne or sparkling wine and blood orange juice in the fridge until thoroughly cold.
- Juice the blood oranges. Squeeze out about 1/2 cup of juice, making sure there are no seeds or pulp, unless you like it a bit pulpy.
- Mix the drink. Pour the blood orange juice into a champagne flute, filling it up about halfway.
- Add champagne. Top off with sparkling wine to fill the rest of the glass.
- Garnish and serve. Add a slice of orange or a twist on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy your bubbly, bright sipper!
🥂 Make sure to pour slowly to keep the bubbles alive and well!
