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.

A bottle of rose champagne, a small carafe of red grapefruit juice and three red grapefruit wedges with a pink background.

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.

Two skinny glasses with a slice of red grapefruit in front of a bottle of pink sparkling wine and three grapefruit wedges on the right side.

Fill each glass 2/3 full with champagne (sparkling wine or club soda).

Three skinny glasses filled with rose champagne and a grapefruit slice with a bottle of champagne and carafe of grapefruit juice in the background.

Top off each glass off with ruby red grapefruit juice and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
