Mimosa FAQs
Can I use a different sparkling wine in a mimosa?
Yes. Choose a dry sparkling wine and chill it well before combining it with cold unsweetened orange juice. Sweeter bottles make a sweeter drink, while a drier wine keeps the orange prominent. Alcohol and sugar depend on the bottle, so the listed estimates would change.
What is the mimosa ratio?
This version uses equal parts sparkling wine and orange juice. Use more wine for a drier glass.
Can I make mimosas ahead?
Chill the components ahead, then combine at serving time to preserve carbonation.
