Serves 4
- 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice, chilled
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) blue curaçao liqueur
- 1 bottle (750 ml) sparkling wine or champagne, chilled
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar (for rimming, optional)
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Maraschino cherries or lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the rim (optional):
- If rimming the glasses, mix a few drops of green food coloring with the granulated sugar.
- Wet the rims of champagne flutes with a lime wedge or water, then dip them into the colored sugar to coat.
- Mix the base:
- In a small pitcher or bowl, mix the orange juice and blue curaçao. This will create a bright green liquid.
- Assemble the mimosas:
- Fill each champagne flute about 1/3 full with the green juice mixture.
- Slowly top off each glass with sparkling wine or champagne.
- Garnish and serve:
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry or lime slice for a festive touch. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the champagne with sparkling apple cider or lemon-lime soda, and use blue sports drink instead of curaçao.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more orange juice or a splash of simple syrup.
- Add a touch of edible glitter to the drink for extra sparkle.
