As an option to Cointreau or Grand Marnier I can highly recommend Limoncello

Yes, it does.

Using freshly squeezed juice seriously makes all the difference! Most important part, the rest is optional in my opinion
Justin
A mimosa makes any morning better. I always use a dash of grand marnier.

To stop the foam up in the flute, mix all ingredients in pitcher first. Changed my relationship to mimosas. Making them anyway.

The Mimosa was the very first cocktail that ever made me drunk. If you are young (I was 18) and have never been drunk before, it is a very deceptive drink in that it doesn't taste alcoholic. My best friend suggested it was time for me to get drunk, so we wound up having several that afternoon. I was intoxicated before I knew it, high as a kite. And then I passed out. First and worst hangover I ever had, and the one and only time I ever drank Mimosas!

the Ceres company makes amazing fruit juices in a box if you can’t find fresh for pear, mango, guava or passion fruit. pear has incredible flavor over bottled juices.

Substituting fresh squeezed grapefruit juice for OJ elevates and improves.

Great tasting mimosas can also result from using orange/mango juice. Mmmangomosas!

I skip the orange liqueur. For starters, I don't love orange liqueur but I also find if using freshly squeezed orange juice, it simply isn't necessary. And less alcohol means I can feel better about having that second mimosa.

Richard
Cointreau and Grand Marnier are orange flavored. Limoncello is lemon flavored. Why add lemon to an orange flavored drink?
mrp
'Simply' OJ with high pulp makes a tasty second choice.

Does the champagne or Cava need to be chilled?
kahyatonhsera
Yes, it does.
S. Parker
Only if you don't like your sparkling wine to be room temperature. But take care not to put it in the freezer.
