METHOD

How to make it

  1. Chill the Prosecco: First, chill the Prosecco in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. A well-chilled Prosecco ensures a crisp sip every time.
  2. Juice the Oranges: While your Prosecco chills, juice the oranges. Cut each orange in half and use a hand juicer or a citrus press to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or large pulp pieces if desired.
  3. Assembly: In a champagne flute or a wine glass, pour the fresh orange juice until the glass is about one-third full. Then, gently top off with Prosecco. The ideal ratio is about one part orange juice to two parts Prosecco, but feel free to adjust to your taste.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a slice of orange or a twist of orange peel for that extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately to enjoy the maximum fizz.

Two glasses of Prosecco and Orange Juice for fruity delight

Prosecco and Orange Juice Recipe

Prosecco and orange juice make a mimosa, a sparkling citrus cocktail often served at brunch. A Bellini uses peach purée instead of orange juice; the recipe below is a mimosa made with Prosecco.

Tips for the perfect Prosecco and Orange Juice Experience:

  • Glassware Matters: A flute, due to its narrow shape, will preserve the bubbles longer, but a wine glass allows the aromas to mingle more, enhancing the flavor.
  • Keep Everything Chilled: In addition to chilling the Prosecco, consider placing your glasses and even the orange juice in the fridge before assembling. This ensures your drink stays colder and longer.
  • Experiment with Ratios: While the classic ratio is beautiful, don't be afraid to tweak it. More orange juice makes for a sweeter, fruitier drink, while a higher proportion of Prosecco brings forward the crisp, bubbly character.
  • Try a Fancy Version: For a more decadent version, add a splash of Grand Marnier or Cointreau. This not only adds depth to the flavor but introduces a subtle note of sophistication to your drink.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: For a non-alcoholic version that still feels special, replace Prosecco with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine.

What to serve with

Mimosas are a brunch drink, so serve them with French toast, pancakes or waffles, or with eggs Benedict and quiche for something savory. Fresh fruit salad and scones round out the table.

Ingredients Substitutes

Orange and prosecco juice

Creating variations on the classic Mimosa, made with Prosecco and orange juice, can be both adventurous and delightful.

Prosecco Substitutes:

  • Champagne: For a more luxurious twist, Champagne offers a sophisticated alternative with its complex flavor profiles. It's perfect for more formal occasions.
  • Cava: This Spanish sparkling wine is a great option if you're looking for a bubbly that's similar to Prosecco but with a slightly different taste due to its unique production method.
  • Sparkling Water or Soda: For a non-alcoholic version, sparkling water or a clear soda can mimic the fizzy sensation without the alcohol content.
  • Sparkling Apple Cider: Another non-alcoholic substitute, sparkling apple cider, provides a sweet yet tart flavor that marries well with fruit juices.

Orange Juice Substitutes:

  • Grapefruit Juice: For a more tart and slightly bitter profile, grapefruit juice can add a sophisticated edge to your beverage. It pairs exceptionally well with the sweeter sparkling wines.
  • Mango Juice: If you're looking for a tropical twist, mango juice offers a rich, sweet flavor that beautifully complements the bubbly's effervescence.
  • Pineapple Juice: Bringing a burst of acidity and sweetness, pineapple juice can transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.
  • Cranberry Juice: For a drink with a vibrant color and a balance of sweet and tart, cranberry juice is an excellent choice. It's especially perfect for holiday gatherings.
  • Peach Puree: Turning your drink into a Bellini, peach puree offers a sweet, velvety alternative to the classic Mimosa. It's perfect for summer brunches.
