Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed and chilled)
  • 1/2 cup champagne (chilled)
  • 1 tablespoon Cointreau (or another orange-flavored liqueur)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Orange Juice: Pour the freshly squeezed and chilled orange juice into a champagne flute, ensuring the glass is clean and dry for the best presentation.
  2. Add Champagne: Carefully top the orange juice with the chilled champagne to maintain the bubbles and create a beautiful layered effect.
  3. Add Cointreau and Serve: Pour in the tablespoon of Cointreau (or another orange-flavored liqueur) gently, then serve the mimosa immediately for the best taste and effervescence.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the freshest flavor and vibrant color.
  • Chill all the ingredients beforehand to keep the drink cool without diluting it with ice.
  • Choose a quality champagne or sparkling wine for the best taste experience.
  • Adjust the amount of Cointreau according to your preferred level of sweetness and orange flavor.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the fizziness at its best.
