Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup blood orange juice (about 2–3 blood oranges)
- 2 oz Cointreau
- ¼ cup Champagne (up to ½ cup if desired)
- Fresh mint for garnish
- Blood orange slices for garnish
Instructions
- Juicing the oranges: Juice the blood oranges and strain the juice to remove pulp and seeds. Reserve the juice for the cocktail.
- Mixing base ingredients: In a champagne flute, pour the blood orange juice and measure 2 oz of Cointreau, adding it to the glass.
- Adding Champagne: Add ice cubes to the flute if desired, then top the mixture with ¼ cup (or up to ½ cup) of chilled Champagne.
- Garnishing and serving: Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and blood orange slices. Serve immediately and enjoy your mimosa!
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh blood oranges rather than bottled juice.
- If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, increase the Cointreau slightly or add a splash of simple syrup.
- Serve chilled Champagne to keep the drink refreshing.
- Omitting ice is typical but adding it can make the drink extra cool on warmer days.
