The Mimosa offers a bright, citrusy, and effervescent flavor profile. The sweetness of the orange juice is balanced by the acidity and dryness of the sparkling wine.
The primary flavors are those of fresh orange juice and the underlying notes of the sparkling wine used. Depending on the sparkling wine, there can be hints of apple, pear, brioche, or citrus. The bubbles from the sparkling wine add a light and refreshing texture.
Función Premium
Use Chilled Ingredients
Ensure both the sparkling wine and orange juice are well-chilled before mixing. This prevents the drink from becoming diluted by ice and maintains its refreshing quality.
Choose Fresh Orange Juice
Freshly squeezed orange juice provides a superior flavor compared to store-bought varieties. Avoid pulp for a smoother texture, or include it if preferred.
Select Appropriate Sparkling Wine
While expensive Champagne is not necessary, a dry sparkling wine like Prosecco or Cava will provide a balanced flavor. Avoid overly sweet sparkling wines.
Gently Mix
Pour the sparkling wine into the glass first, then gently add the orange juice. Stir lightly to combine, avoiding excessive stirring which can flatten the bubbles.
Ratio Adjustment
The standard ratio is 1:1 sparkling wine to orange juice, but you can adjust this based on your preference for sweetness and alcohol content. More sparkling wine will result in a drier, more alcoholic drink.
