Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Shaker
- 1 Glass
Ingredients
- 1 oz 30 ml Grand Marnier
- 3 oz 90 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
- Chilled champagne or sparkling wine
- Orange slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out 1 oz (30 ml) of Grand Marnier and 3 oz (90 ml) of freshly squeezed orange juice. Ensure that the champagne or sparkling wine is chilled before use.
- In a champagne flute, pour the Grand Marnier followed by the freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Fill the remainder of the flute with chilled champagne or sparkling wine, pouring slowly to minimize foam.
- Garnish the rim of the flute with an orange slice for a decorative touch.
- Serve the Grand Mimosa immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the vibrant color and effervescence of this elegant cocktail.
Notes
- Champagne Selection: Choose a dry or brut champagne or sparkling wine for your Grand Mimosas to balance the sweetness of the orange liqueur and juice. Avoid overly sweet varieties, as they may overpower the other flavors in the cocktail.
- Fresh Orange Juice: For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice rather than store-bought varieties. The natural sweetness and acidity of fresh orange juice enhance the overall taste of the cocktail.
