Storing Tips

✳️ Keep orange juice and Blue Curacao chilled until ready to use.

✳️ Store unopened Champagne in a cool, dark place.

✳️ Reseal opened Champagne and refrigerate for up to one day.

Recipe Note

• Use cold ingredients to keep the green mimosa fresh and bubbly.
• ️Add Blue Curacao in small amounts to control sweetness and color.
• ️Pour Champagne slowly to avoid overflowing the glass.
• ️Adjust juice levels to match your taste preference.
• ️ Serve immediately for the best flavor and fizz.

Should I serve a mimosa with ice?

Serving a mimosa without ice keeps the flavor clean and the bubbles strong. Ice waters down the drink as it melts. Chilled juice and Champagne work better. A cold flute keeps everything crisp. I skip ice every time.

How can I make a mimosa without alcohol?

A non-alcoholic green mimosa works great with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Use orange juice and a drop of blue food coloring or non-alcoholic Blue Curacao syrup. The color stays fun and bright. Kids and non-drinkers enjoy this version at brunch.

What kind of glass do I serve a mimosa in?

A Champagne flute works best for green mimosas. The tall shape keeps bubbles longer. Wine glasses work in casual settings. Clear glass shows the green color and makes the drink pop on the table.
