Mimosas are the best brunch companion! Learn what makes a mimosa recipe and 4 delicious flavors to change things up when making the perfect mimosa!

What is a mimosa?

A classic mimosa recipe is 1 part orange juice to 1 part champagne. But there are lots of things that separate a mediocre mimosa to a fantastic one.

  • Make sure the champagne is chilled before serving as well. No one likes a room temperature mimosa.
  • Fresh squeezed orange juice. This tastes the best and really makes a mimosa stand out. Just make sure it is chilled before serving.

Don’t have patience or time for fresh squeezed orange juice? No problem! Buy orange juice that contains pulp. This will be closest to fresh squeezed.
