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…..

Fill the glass half way with blood orange juice…..

Top off with champagne/prosecco…..

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}.
