Ruby Red Grapefruit Mimosas - This delicious blush cocktail is a creative spin on the traditional mimosa recipe. Rosé champagne mixed with fresh red grapefruit juice is the perfect flavor combination. Make these gorgeous, sparkling ruby red grapefruit mimosas for your next brunch, ladies night, or summer party!
What is a mimosa?
A mimosa cocktail is a combination of champagne (or sparkling wine) mixed with chilled fruit juice (usually orange juice). It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute.
Technically this cocktail of Rosé champagne and grapefruit juice would be called a Megmosa, but not many people would would know that. Okay, I didn't know that!
What you will need:
- Rosé champagne or sparkling wine of your choice - I used Korbel.
- Fresh squeezed red grapefruit juice - juice in a carton would work, if you can find it, but it won't have that same fresh, crisp, flavor.
- Fresh red grapefruit to use as a garnish.

How to serve grapefruit mimosas:
There are two simple ways to serve your mimosas. Pour the champagne and grapefruit juice into a large pitcher with frozen grapefruit slices. Your guests will be able to easily fill their glasses.
Option two, which is the more traditional way, is to place a thin slice of grapefruit into a slim Collins glass or champagne flute.
Fill each glass 2/3 full with champagne (sparkling wine or club soda).
Top off each glass off with ruby red grapefruit juice and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
This super simple cocktail would be perfect for Easter, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day or date night. I just L-O-V-E the color of this drink!
Recipe Variations:
- Add a splash of Gran Marnier, vodka, Cointreau (orange liqueur).
- Garnish with mint leaves, a frozen raspberry or strawberry.
- Substitute soda water/seltzer for a non-alcoholic drink.
