Introduction

The classic mimosa is a simple, refreshing cocktail perfect for brunch or celebrations. Combining sparkling wine and fresh orange juice creates a light, bubbly drink that’s both elegant and easy to make.

The image shows a tall champagne glass being filled with a pale yellow, frothy drink from a green bottle at the top left. The drink inside the glass has two visible layers: a thick foamy top and a smooth liquid bottom, both shades of yellow. Behind it, slightly to the right, is another tall champagne glass filled with an opaque bright yellow drink, garnished with a red strawberry on the rim. To the left of the pouring glass is a clear glass container filled halfway with orange juice, with a bright orange slice resting in front of it. On the right side, near the second glass, there is a small white bowl full of red strawberries placed on a deep red fabric with some strawberries also scattered outside the bowl. The whole setup is on a white marbled surface, with a plain light beige wall in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 5 fluid ounces MARTINI Asti
  • 1 Orange
  • 1 Fresh Strawberry

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Into a champagne flute, slowly pour the MARTINI Asti (5 fluid ounces), stopping as needed to prevent it from bubbling over.
  2. Step 2: Top it off with the juice of 1 orange.
  3. Step 3: Cut a small slit in a whole fresh strawberry and garnish the rim of the glass. Serve right away.

Tips & Variations

  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Try adding a splash of other fruit juices like blood orange or grapefruit for a twist.
  • Chill the champagne flute beforehand to keep your mimosa cooler for longer.

Storage

Mimosas are best enjoyed immediately to retain their bubbles and freshness. If you need to prepare in advance, keep the sparkling wine and juice separate and combine just before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a tall clear glass flute being filled with a light yellow, foamy drink. The glass is in the center, in front of a pitcher filled halfway with orange juice and a slice of orange resting beside it; both are placed on a deep red cloth. To the right is another glass of the same drink, garnished with a red strawberry on its rim. In front of this glass is a small white bowl filled with fresh red strawberries, sitting on the same red cloth. The background has a light pink textured wall, and the whole scene is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make a mimosa without champagne?

Yes, you can substitute champagne with other sparkling wines like Prosecco or Cava, or even a sparkling rosé for a different flavor profile.

How do I avoid the mimosa from bubbling over?

Pour the sparkling wine slowly and tilt the glass slightly to reduce bubbles, stopping periodically to let the foam settle before adding more.
