Mimosa Recipe

A simple Mimosa Recipe made from Champagne and orange juice and a splash of Grand Marnier Liqueur. Serve Mimosas for a weekend breakfast or brunch or special occasion.

While a mixed drink is not usually associated with early morning breakfasts and brunches, a Mimosa is one exception to the rule. The other may be a Bloody Mary.

The addition of a splash of champagne can add festiveness to your special occasion.

Mimosas are an ideal cocktail recipe to serve for an Christmas brunch, Easter brunch, Mother's day brunch, bridal brunch, breakfast in bed or just about any special occasion that is scheduled for earlier in the day.

Dress up this brunch drink by serving it in a champagne glass, champagne flute or any other tall stemware and garnishing with a slice of strawberry. View other drink recipes like this mimosa recipe.
