| Noun | 1. |  orange juice - bottled or freshly squeezed juice of orange |
| Noun | 1. |  champagne - a white sparkling wine either produced in Champagne or resembling that produced theresparkling wine - effervescent wine |
Ingredients:
Champagne
2 ounces of cold orange juice (Oh, if you have fresh orange juice, what a special treat!)
Orange slice for garnish if using a large wine glass (not a flute - no garnish with a flute)
Crushed ice (optional)
Instructions:
Pour OJ into a champagne flute (I use just a tiny bit of crushed ice in mine)
Add champagne to fill the glass but be careful not to overfill
Garnish with a slice of orange if using a glass other than a flute
*If you want more ice, use a large wine glass and pour 3 parts of champagne in the glass and then add 2 parts OJ.
Variations of the Basic Mimosa Recipe:
Add a tablespoon of Grand Marnier and you'll have created a Grand Mimosa
Use cranberry juice instead of OJ and you have created a Hibiscus or a Poinsettia
Use pink grapefruit juice instead of OJ and enjoy a Lilosa
A Fauxmosa is a virgina Mimosa (no champagne). Use 7Up or Sprite in place of champagne.
From the traditional OJ and champagne to the Lilosa, these recipes will add an extra flare to every occasion. Mimosas are just the most wonderful beverage at any time of the day. I shall go make one right now ...
