With a beautiful rosy color, sweet flavor and bubbly effervescence, a Blood Orange Mimosa is a fun and festive cocktail. Instructions for an extra fruit option and a non-alcoholic mimosa included.
0-½cupsimple syrup or sweeteneror 1/3 cup each water and sugar, or to taste (see note)
1bottle champagnewell chilled, substitute fizzy water or 7-up style drink for alcohol free
Optional fresh fruit balls or slicies.
Instructions
Juice the oranges.
Prepare the fruit if using.
Blend syrup with the simple syrup or sugar and water if using, until pulp is mostly broken up and sugar (if using) is dissolved.
Fill the glass 1/4 -1/3 full with juice mixture. If you are using fruit, add it here. Top with champagne (or fizzy water or 7-up for mocktail).
Notes
Blood orange juice will vary in sweetness and bitterness, so adjust sweetener accordingly. Calorie count uses full 1/2 cup of simple syrup. It may sound like a lot but it's really just 1/2 ounce per serving.
