The true test of a good brunch is a fizzy and fruity mimosa! Not only is the sparkling co*cktail chock full of refreshing juice, but add some bubbly to the mix, and you have yourself a recipe for pure happiness! And even if you aren't on board with orange juice, there are so many creative ways to put a spin on the classic brunch drink. Just ask Alex Drummond, who added a mimosa bar to her bridal shower, complete with tons of delicious juices and garnishes for guests to customize their cups!
Is your mouth watering yet? If so, you'll be happy to see the best mimosa recipes right here that are sure to make any occasion, whether it's Easter brunch, Mother's Day, or just a Sunday afternoon, a special one! Just use one of our best champagnes for mimosas (or opt for Prosecco, cava, or even bubbly rose), then check out these suggestions for fruity mimosa recipes.
While the original orange juice is a no brainer when paired with your favorite breakfast casseroles, there are tons of other variations worth trying, too. For instance, the mimosa margaritas would be a great choice with huevos rancheros and the apple cider mimosa is just the thing to serve with pumpkin pancakes. Looking for a drink that's fit for a crowd? Try the holiday mimosa punch that's made in a pitcher. Or opt for the sherbet mimosa that swaps out the juice for scoops of ice cream. Read on for fun twists, like raspberry, pomegranate, grapefruit, and more!
