Champagne Mimosa Recipe

A good Champagne Mimosa is a staple at any Brunch. It's a classic drink and, coupled with the Bloody Mary, is a necessity for the success of your brunch. Serve both and you are sure to have a hit! This recipe is our favorite!

Recipe:

1 oz. Orange Juice
3 oz. Champagne

In a tall flute glass, pour the orange juice in first, then the champagne. The champagne with its alcohol is thicker and will mix down the orange juice. Do not stir or you will lose the bubbles! Garnish with an orange slice, cut in half ( a whole orange slice is too big for a champagne flute).

We usually set up a small bar area for any brunch. You can set out your flutes and mixings, as well as your orange slices in an attractive plate. If the host and hostess serve the first Mimosa, guests can refill as desired!
