Mimosa

By á-30

Ingredients

• Champagne
• 2 ounces of cold orange juice (Oh, if you have fresh orange juice, what a special treat!)
• Orange slice for garnish if using a large wine glass (not a flute - no garnish with a flute)
• Crushed ice (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Pour orange juice into a champagne flute (I use just a tiny bit of crushed ice in mine)
Add champage to fill the glass but be careful not to overfill
Garnish with a slice of orange if using a glass other than a flute


If you want more ice, use a large wine glass and pour 3 parts of champage in the glass and then add 2 parts orange juice.

Variations of the Basic Mimosa Recipe

Add a tablespoon of Grand Marnier and you'll have created a Grand Mimosa (very close to a Mama Mimosa - see below)
Use cranberry juice instead of orange juice and you have created a Hibiscus or a Poinsettia
Use pink grapefruit instead of orange juice and enjoy a Lilosa
A Fauxmosa is a virgin Mimosa (no champagne). Use 7 UP or Sprite in place of the champagne
