Instructions

Step 1

Start by dipping the rims of four champagne flutes into some water, then gently press them into sanding sugar so they get a nice, sparkly coating. Pour the Champagne evenly into each glass. Next, add about two tablespoons of pineapple juice and two tablespoons of blood orange juice to every flute. Finally, give each mimosa a splash of orange liqueur on top for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This drink is bright and refreshing with a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. It’s easy to make and adds a festive touch to any brunch or celebration. The natural fizz makes it feel special without being too strong.

Serving Suggestions

Serve in tall champagne flutes to showcase the beautiful color. Garnish with a thin slice of blood orange or a sprig of mint for an elegant look. This drink pairs wonderfully with light breakfast dishes like pastries, fruit salad, or eggs Benedict.

Storage Tips

Prepare the blood orange juice ahead and keep it refrigerated for up to two days. Once mixed, the drink is best enjoyed immediately, as sparkling wine loses its fizz quickly. If needed, keep any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge and consume within a few hours.
