Ingredient Notes

1. Orange Juice: Fresh juice gives a clean citrus taste. Bottled juice works fine when time feels tight.

2. Blue Curacao: This adds the green color and a light orange flavor. A small splash goes a long way.

3. Champagne: Dry Champagne keeps the drink balanced. Prosecco or sparkling wine works just as well.

How To Make Green Mimosa?

1. Chill the Champagne flute for a few minutes. Cold glass keeps the green mimosas crisp.

2. Pour orange juice into the glass.

3. Add a splash of Blue Curacao. Watch the green color form right away.

4. Slowly top with Champagne to keep the bubbles lively.

5. Give a gentle stir with a spoon. Serve right away.

Tip from my kitchen: Pour Champagne last and slow. This keeps the fizz strong and the drink clear, not flat.

Tips and Variations

Tips

Keep all ingredients well chilled so the green mimosa stays fresh and bubbly.

Pour Champagne last and very slowly to hold the fizz.

Use clear glasses to show off the green color.

Measure the Blue Curacao carefully so the drink does not turn too sweet.

Serve right after mixing for the best taste and texture.

Variations

Swap orange juice with pineapple juice for a tropical green mimosa drink.

Use Prosecco or sparkling wine instead of Champagne.

Make a non-alcoholic version with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water.

Add a small splash of passionfruit juice for a fruity twist.

Turn it into a green champagne cocktail pitcher for parties by scaling up the ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

☑️ Serve green mimosas in chilled Champagne flutes for the best fizz.

☑️ Pair with brunch foods like waffles, pancakes, or eggs.

☑️ Add fresh fruit on the side for a light, refreshing match.

☑️ Use clear glassware to highlight the green color.

☑️ Serve right after mixing so the bubbles stay lively.

Storing Tips

✳️ Serve the green mimosa right after mixing for best taste.

✳️ 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.

✳️ Avoid storing mixed mimosas, as the bubbles fade quickly.

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.
