Mimosas are one of the most famous drinks in the world. This drink is perfect for both casual and festive occasions, such as holidays, mothers’ days, birthdays for the family, and even weekend brunches. You will realize over time why it has been a favorite choice since the 1920s when you try this fruity drink named after the yellow mimosa flower.
This classic jello shot has the advantage of the bubbles mixed into it by the wine. This is an excellent pour-and-serve shot that is easy to make. If you like your mimosas sweeter, pour equal quantities of orange juice and sparkling wine, or choose a sweet sparkling wine.
Tips
- You can serve it with your favorite brunch dishes from frittatas to French toast or you can eat it with cheese, crackers, and fresh seasonal fruits as a light snack.
- Champagne is a nice option, but saving money with a nice prosecco or cava is also a good choice. (Cointreau does a great job) The triple sec is an optional but recommended.
- Other than making a mimosa with wine, make one with a sparkling grape juice or cider.
