What is in a Mimosa?
A traditional mimosa is a cocktail comprised of champagne and citrus juice. Traditionally, people use orange juice, but you can also use, grapefruit juice, St. Germaine, or any juice you desire. Typically, they are served in a flute glass our coupe glass.
Tips and Tricks for a Fabulous Mimosa
Select the right glass. You can use either a flute or coupe glass. Since we added a scoop of orange sorbet to this recipe, I opted for these amazing Roma Italian coupe glasses from Food52. However, you can also use a flute, just be careful when adding the sorbet so it doesn’t splash.
If you decide to add a touch of orange juice, fresh squeezed is the way to go. Just be sure to strain off any pulp, as pulp is never enjoyable in a cocktail.
Also, be sure your champagne is well chilled, otherwise your sorbet will melt quickly! Finally, be sure to serve this cocktail with a mini spoon. This allows your guests to slowly enjoy a small bite of sorbet in between sips.
One 750ml bottle of champagne serves five 150ml glasses. This is about a 5 ounce pour per person. You will want to add about 3 ounces of Sorbet per glass. This is about one full ice cream scoop.
