Mimosa Drink
Everybody knows How to Make Mimosas, but a few simple steps like fresh squeezed orange juice, glasses rinsed with Grand Marnier, and easy orange peel curls make this round truly special and celebratory.
Ingredients
- ½ ounce Grand Marnier
- 12 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 4 oranges if you are using an electric juicer) 1 1/2 cups
- 1 bottle champagne or sparkling wine 750 ml
- Orange peel curls for garnish (optional; see Notes below)
Instructions
- Gather six (8 to 10 ounce) champagne glasses. Pour Grand Marnier into one glass, and swish and swirl until the entire inside of glass is coated in liqueur. Transfer Grand Marnier to second glass and repeat process. Continue repeating process until all glasses are coated in Grand Mariner. If there is any additional Grand Mariner left when you are done with the last glass, drink or discard it.
- Divide orange juice between glasses, then divide champagne over juice. Garnish glasses with orange peel curls, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
How to Make Orange Peel Curls for Garnish
- Slice an orange into rounds, no more than 1/4-inch thick. Older oranges actually work great for this.
- Use a very sharp paring knife to cut the orange rind away from each slice, leaving as much of the pith behind as possible. Remove the rind ring and make one cut to open the circle into a long ribbon.
- Spiral the rind ribbon around something long and skinny, such as a pencil, straw, or BBQ skewer. The skinnier the object you wrap it around, the more curl you will get.
- Allow the curls to dry for about 20 minutes before using if possible. Use a fan pointed at the curls to speed up the drying process.
