I love a classic mimosa, but I wanted to try a different version instead of using the beloved fresh-squeezed orange juice, I filled the glass half full with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice and a little dash of orange juice… then topped it off with Prosecco.
They are perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch or a leisurely Sunday morning outside. I can’t wait to make more soon!

The drink’s simple yet elegant mix of flavors offers a refreshing burst that enhances any celebration.

Eden’s Recipe Tips
- Glassware Matters: Use Champagne flutes or tall glasses to keep those delightful bubbles intact.
- Quality Juice: Always opt for fresh grapefruit juice to enhance the cocktail’s natural zing.
- Mix with Care: Stir gently to avoid losing the effervescence of your Champagne.
- Garnish: Add an orange slice on the rim for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
- Virgin Twist: For an alcohol-free version, replace Champagne with non-alcoholic sparkling wine to keep it festive without the alcohol.
