Tips to make it
When making a Mimosa, careful measurements must be adhered to in order to get the perfect combination of flavors. Specifically, 2 ounces of orange juice and 2 ounces of champagne should be used to ensure that the flavor is not overly intense. The orange juice should be poured into a champagne flute first, and the a champagne added on top. Then, the flute should be stirred lightly to combine the two ingredients. This careful technique ensures that the drink is not overmixed, and the two flavors combine together to create a smooth and blended drink. Mimosas can also be made ahead of time, and should be served chilled. When done right, making a Mimosa can be a delicious, easy and fun activity.
