Classic Mimosa
Ingredients
- 2 oz fresh orange juice chilled
- 3 oz brut champagne or prosecco chilled
- 1 thin curl of orange zest or 3 fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a champagne flute in the freezer for 5 minutes so the first sip stays as cold as the last.
- Pour 2 ounces of orange juice into the chilled flute.
- Top slowly with 3 ounces of cold champagne or prosecco, pouring down the inside of the glass so it doesn't foam over the rim.
- Give the drink one gentle stir with a bar spoon, no more, so the bubbles survive the mix.
- Garnish with a curl of orange zest or three whole raspberries dropped in and serve right away, while it is still fizzing.
Good to Know
For a crowd, set the bottles and juice out separately as a self-serve bar rather than pre-mixing; pre-poured mimosas go flat sitting in a pitcher.
