  • 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!!!!

    • Forgot to give 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • i love this drink. however, I need to add some pineapple juice and a splash of vodka. very refreshing. enjoy responsibly!!!!

  • We made these this morning for Christmas. I followed the measurements exactly but it didn’t fill up an entire glass like your picture. It was very strong liquor flavour. We added more orange juice & it was better for our taste. The grand mariner definitely amps up the flavour. It wasn’t special enough to become a tradition for us though. Maybe I made a mistake when pouring? We used a cava & that was fine for the mimosa though.

  • Hello! Every recipe I have made of yours has been fabulous! Question: I want to make this for Easter (this Sunday), but would rather make a pitcher. We’re having over 10 adults and would hate to have to keep refilling glasses. Any idea on how to adjust the recipe?
    Thanks for all you do!

    • Hi Lynn, if you’re serving 10, I would suggest doubling the recipe (you may have a little leftover). Just fill the pitcher and store the extra in the fridge until you need to refill the pitcher. Hope everyone enjoys!

      • Perfect! I really appreciate your quick response!!!

  • The recipe looks delicious. What is a good way to garnish a Mimosa?

    • You could try a thinly sliced orange on the rim of the glass, or floating raspberries.

  • In the picture in this post, I see a bottle of Cava. Do you have any suggestions for choosing a sparkling wine or champagne for Grand Mimosas? I am thinking you wouldn’t want to use the least nor the most expensive selections. Does Brut or Extra Dry matter?

    • You don’t need to spend much on the champagne here. Cava (which is inexpensive) works great. In general, stick with something a little drier.

  • These are delicious! And most definitely a step up from a plain mimosa. After these I will have a hard time having anything else. Thank you for the recipe!

  • Can you make this recipe in a pitcher rather than by the glass?

    Thank you!

    • Absolutely!

  • I really like adding Grand Marnier to the Mimosas, but I think adding the Champagne last makes it bubble, while doing the opposite kinda makes it boring. Maybe it’s just me.

  • This is the most fabulous answer to my holiday brunch entertaining, thank you Jenn!

  • I made these yesterday. I never thought to add orange liquor to a mimosa before, but WOW! It really kicked them up a notch. Enjoyed by all.
