New to mimosa making? You can't go wrong with our classic mimosa. One part juice to four parts bubbly is all you need to know to create the brunch go-to. Once you have the proportions down, go off and try out any and all combinations to suit your tastes. Champagne and grapefruit juice for a grapefruit mimosa? Sounds legendary. Cava and strawberries? Yes, please.
Nothing kicks off brunch quite like a mimosa. If you prefer your cocktails on the sweeter side, bump up the orange juice to 3 ounces per glass, or go for a sweeter bottle of bubbly. To play up the orange flavor, try adding a dash of orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau, or a few dashes of orange bitters.
These beautiful blue mimosas are just the drink to class up your next brunch. Be sure to refrigerate both your bubbly and your Blue Curacao so when you're ready to assemble, your drinks are already chilled. Looking for more colorful mimosas? Try our Tequila Sunrise mimosas next!
While the classic combo of four parts champagne and one part fresh orange juice can certainly hold its own, this recipe adds a fun holiday twist by swapping the orange juice with fresh cranberries, cranberry juice, rosemary, and a hint of lime.

We love the idea of these at a brunch birthday or baby shower for when you want to go above and beyond a plain orange juice mimosa. They'd also make for a great dessert cocktail, since you really can't beat having a Nilla wafer-studded rim.
The classic mimosa goes tropical (and extra boozy) with pineapple juice instead of O.J. and a little coconut rum. This cocktail doubles as a top-tier brunch cocktail and perfect poolside drink.

This refreshing spin on a mimosa is especially great for brunch, but also makes a perfect ending to a summer evening. Tart lime, refreshing watermelon, and bubbly all in one. Don't skip the mint, it helps cut the sweetness of the melon.
Prefer beer to bubbly? No problem. There's a mimosa for you, too! In our opinion, Blue Moon is the ideal pairing for O.J., but Shock Top or any light wheat beer will also work.
Looking to celebrate someone extra-special on their big day? This is the drink to do it with. Fancy birthday cake is really fun, but a birthday cake mimosa is even better. It's cake and ice cream all in one. We used birthday cake vodka, but if you have trouble finding it, you can use vanilla or even regular vodka!
Palomas are like the more bubbly, grapefruit-y sister of a margarita, so it's clear to see why we love merging them with a refreshing mimosa. Want to add a little kick to your mimosas? Add 1/4 teaspoon chili powder to your sugar & salt mixture to give your rim some heat.
