Make your next brunch a bit more special with the addition of Blood Orange Mimosa to your menu! © COOKING WITH CURLS

Am I the only person on the planet that thinks of mimosas as a Mother’s Day cocktail? I have no idea where that idea came from, especially since we used to drink green mimosas in college on St. Patrick’s Day, but here we are a week before Mother’s Day and I have made a wonderful Blood Orange Mimosa to share with you…..

I am taking a photography class, my first since high school, and I was so excited to catch the bubbles!! It kind of overflowed all over the tray, but I got the bubbles!! LOL Aren’t those Blood Orange Mimosas a beautiful color? The oranges remind me of the color of my favorite roses. 🙂

How to make an individual Blood Orange Mimosa:

Pour 1/2 an ounce of orange liqueur into a champagne flute…..

Top off with champagne/prosecco…..

Every celebration needs a signature cocktail, and this Blood Orange Mimosa is perfect addition to your menu! © COOKING WITH CURLS

Garnish with blood orange slices or wedges and serve immediately.

How to make a Blood Orange Mimosa Pitcher Cocktail:

Pour orange juice and orange liqueur into a pitcher.

Add the Champagne or Prosecco.

Drop in orange slices to garnish.

Serve immediately.

Notes:

  • Champagne flutes come in many different sizes, therefore the amount of servings will vary depending on your glasses.
  • If you cannot find blood oranges, substitute navel or your favorite type of orange.
  • The orange liqueur is added to give the cocktail an extra kick of orange flavor. You can leave it out if you like, or try a different liqueur instead.
  • I am not a fan of champagne so I always use prosecco {Italian sparkling wine}.

  • Gold Royale Cocktail – for a sparkly gold cocktail with a cinnamon flavor
  • Peach Bellini
  • Raspberry Fizz Cocktail – the fizz comes from lemon-lime soda not champagne
