Memorial Mimosa Cocktail Recipe
This festive drink combines orange juice and sparkling wine with a splash of grenadine for a beautiful sunrise effect. It's perfect for Memorial Day celebrations.
Equipment
- Champagne flutes
- Measuring jigger or shot glass
- Bar spoon
- Small pitcher (optional)
- Ice bucket for chilling wine
Ingredients
- 3 oz prosecco or champagne chilled
- 3 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice chilled
- 1/4 oz grenadine
- Orange slices for garnish
- Ice for chilling glasses
Instructions
- Chill the champagne flutes in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Pour the fresh orange juice into each flute, filling about halfway.
- Slowly add the prosecco or champagne by tilting the glass and pouring down the side. This helps keep the bubbles.
- Gently add grenadine by pouring it down the side of the glass. It will sink to create a layered effect.
- Garnish with an orange slice on the rim of each glass.
Notes
Store sparkling wine and orange juice in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Fresh-squeezed juice tastes much better than bottled juice.
To make a large batch, multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed. Mix orange juice and sparkling wine in a pitcher, then add grenadine to individual glasses.
Serve the drink right away before the bubbles disappear.
For an alcohol-free version, use sparkling water or ginger ale instead of sparkling wine.
