Step-by-step instructions
In a champagne flute, pour in the pulp-free orange juice, vanilla vodka, and heavy cream. Stir well to ensure everything is combined perfectly.
Slowly pour champagne into the flute, filling it to the rim, allowing the bubbles to rise gently without overflowing.
Garnish with an orange wedge perched on the rim of the glass. Enjoy immediately!
Serving suggestions
To elevate your mimosa experience, consider serving these cocktails with a variety of brunch items. Pair them with fluffy pancakes, a fresh fruit platter, or even a light raspberry scone. The bright colors and creamy texture of your mimosas complement a wide range of breakfast favorites, making them ideal for holidays or cozy gatherings.
How to store
It’s best to enjoy your Orange Creamsicle Mimosas fresh, as the champagne will lose its fizz and flavor over time. However, if you have leftover components (juice, vodka, cream), you can store them separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Always make sure to handle your ingredients safely, keeping them tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
Helpful cooking tips
- Chill your champagne beforehand to keep your mimosas cold and refreshing.
- Use a high-quality vanilla vodka for a richer flavor experience.
- Don’t rush on the pouring of champagne; allowing it to bubble gently preserves its fizz.
Creative twists
Want to mix things up? Consider these variations:
- Add a splash of cranberry juice for a tart contrast.
- Swap out the vanilla vodka for coconut rum for a tropical flair.
- Experiment with flavored sparkling wines like peach or raspberry to create new taste sensations.
