Mimosa Mash Up —4 Takes on Brunch’s Favorite Cocktail!

Mimosa Mash Up —4 Takes on Brunch’s Favorite Cocktail!
Who doesn’t LOVE a Mimosa? One part champagne, one part citrus juice, all parts FABULOUS! So fabulous, in fact, that there’s even a day set aside for celebrating this fabled cocktail: National Mimosa Day, celebrated each year on May 16th.

With roots that can be traced back to the Hotel Ritz Paris in the mid 1920s, Mimosa are a staple at brunches, weddings, and with the “ladies who lunch” crowd. 

While we adore the classic Mimosa - a 50/50 mix of sparkling wine and orange juice, served chilled in a tall champagne flute, there are some creative — and delicious — variations that are definitely worth a taste, including a few of our favorites:


Vodka Mimosa (a.k.a. the Champagne Screw)

1/3 Vodka
1/3 Orange Juice
1/3 Chilled Champagne

Pour in glass and garnish with fresh fruit.


Strawberry Mimosa

1 Bottle of Brut Champagne
1/2 Cup Fresh Strawberries
2 Teaspoons Strawberry Juice/Smoothie
Strawberries for Garnish

In a separate container, crush and muddle the strawberries until pureed and then add to a champagne glass. Add strawberry juice/smoothie for added sweetness. 

Fill the rest of the glass with champagne and use the strawberries for garnish.


Cherry Kiss Mimosa

1 Cup Pineapple Juice
1/4 Cup Maraschino Cherry Juice
1 Bottle Champagne
Orange slices, for garnish

Combine pineapple juice and maraschino cherry juice in champagne flutes. Top with champagne and garnish with orange slice.


Pomegranate Mimosa

1 Cup Sweetened Pomegranate Juice
1 Bottle Champagne
Pomegranate Seeds, for garnish

Pour pomegranate juice into a champagne flute, top with champagne and garnish with pomegranate seeds.


Whether you like your Mimosas straight up classic, or with a fresh new twist, they’re easy to make — and easier to drink — so you’ll definitely want to try them all!

Cheers!
