Bubbly, bright, and undeniably celebratory, Grand Mimosas are the quintessential brunch cocktail.
Grand Mimosas—a blend of orange juice, sparkling wine, and a hint of orange liqueur—are bubbly, bright, and downright festive. I’m sharing the classic recipe, but feel free to add a tad more orange juice if you like it fruity or some extra sparkling wine for a boozier, fizzier drink. And before you go popping that bottle of sparkling wine, here’s a little trick to avoid the mess: gently twist the bottle, not the cork, when you’re opening it up. That way, you get to enjoy every drop without losing half the bottle to the ceiling!

I don’t know why I have never thought to add some Grand Marnier to my mimosas… This is brilliant. Thanks, Jenn!
What size of champagne bottle does this recipe ask for?
Hi Stephanie, you’ll need a 750 ml/25 oz bottle. 😊
Any suggestions on how I can make this non-alcoholic? A mock tail?
Hi Sohnia, There are several non-alcoholic mimosa recipes online that replace champagne with others like ginger ale or non-alcoholic sparkling wine. This one gets good reviews if you want to give it a try.
I made a pitcher of this recipe for Easter brunch and it was delicious. I just used the basics – Tropicana and a moderately priced Cava – and yet it really seemed elevated. Thank you for so many great recipes.
Super good, gives it a deep Orange flavor and makes it feel a bit more festive with the orange zest!
Best mimosa ever!!!! Doubled the recipe and added the Champagne last. Another great one Jenn. Enjoyed for Mother’s Day!!!!
