I make a classic Prosecco mimosa with just two ingredients.
This cocktail is light, refreshing, and perfect for brunch or special occasions.
Let’s get into what you need, the best way to prepare it, and a few tips for pulling it off.

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.
