Bubbly, bright, and undeniably celebratory, grand mimosas are the quintessential brunch cocktail—perfect for any special gathering!
Grand Mimosas—a bubbly mix of orange juice, sparkling wine, and a hint of orange liqueur—are bright and downright festive. This is my go-to mimosa recipe, with the perfect ratio of ingredients that’s easy to adjust to your taste. They’re great for gatherings like baby showers, celebrations, or holidays such as Mother’s Day, Easter, or New Year’s Day, adding a special touch to the table. Pour them into wine glasses or whip up a pitcher to keep the refills flowing at your weekend brunch.
Feeling adventurous? Switch up the classic orange juice for fresh grapefruit, pomegranate, pineapple, or cranberry juice for a fun twist and vibrant color. Instead of orange slices, garnish with fresh mango or strawberries for a pop of color and a hint of sweetness.
And here’s a quick tip for keeping those bubbles in your glass: twist the bottle, not the cork, when opening your sparkling wine. This little trick ensures every drop lands in the glass for cheers all around!

I don’t know why I have never thought to add some Grand Marnier to my mimosas… This is brilliant. Thanks, Jenn!
What size of champagne bottle does this recipe ask for?
Hi Stephanie, you’ll need a 750 ml/25 oz bottle. 😊
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!!!!
