How to make a Mimosa

Build it in a champagne flute. About 2 minutes.

  1. Pour 75 ml of orange juice into a champagne flute.
  2. Gently pour 75 ml of prosecco over the orange juice.
  3. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
  4. Garnish with an orange twist if desired.

Bartender’s tips

  • Ensure both the prosecco and the orange juice are thoroughly chilled before mixing, as this drink is served without ice.
  • You can substitute the prosecco with champagne or another dry sparkling wine to vary the flavor profile.
  • Always pour the sparkling wine slowly and at an angle to keep it from bubbling over and losing its carbonation.
