DESCRIPTION
This drink is just a little twist on the classic Mimosa. You’ve still got your orange and bubbly in there, but there’s also some extra sweetness (and redness!) from the grenadine and a bit of puckering lemon to balance it out.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup of dry sparkling wine
- 1/3 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice (or store-bought “Not From Concentrate” OJ, best to get the kind without pulp)
- 1 Tbsp. of grenadine
- 1 Tbsp. of fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Pour the sparkling wine into a port glass or a small wine glass. Add the orange juice and then the grenadine and the lemon. The grenadine likes to go sailing down to the bottom of the drink making for a nice striping-sunset effect. But the result is an overly sour drink.
- Serve it with a stir stick so that people will know to stir the red sweetness up from the bottom to balance out the lemon.
