Variations & Tips
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the sparkling wine with sparkling water or ginger ale. If you prefer a sweeter mimosa, use a cranberry juice cocktail instead of pure cranberry juice. You can also experiment with different juice combinations, such as adding a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical twist. For an extra festive touch, rim the glasses with sugar by dipping the rims in orange juice and then in sugar before pouring the mimosa.
