Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Champagne or Prosecco
- 3 ounces Orange Juice
- 1/2 ounce Amaretto
- 1/2 ounce Grenadine Syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Select a wide-mouthed champagne glass, such as a coupe style, to allow the layers to display beautifully.
- Combine Base Ingredients: Pour the Champagne or Prosecco, orange juice, and Amaretto together gently into the glass, allowing them to mix smoothly.
- Add Grenadine: Slowly pour the grenadine syrup into the glass; it will naturally settle to the bottom creating a lovely layered effect.
- Serve: Serve the drink as layered or gently swirl with a cocktail spoon to mix the flavors before enjoying.
Notes
- Use chilled Champagne or Prosecco for a refreshing drink.
- For a sweeter mimosa, increase the amount of grenadine slightly.
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor.
- The grenadine layer adds both color and sweetness, so pour it slowly to maintain layers.
- Can easily be multiplied to serve a larger group by maintaining the same ratios.
