A mimosa is the total queen of brunch cocktails! This version swaps the typical mimosa ingredients for delicious rainbow sherbert for a breakfast alcoholic drink that is high on fun and taste!
Ask someone to brunch and you can bet they will be eyeing the mimosa menu the moment you sit down. I know I do. I love finding a traditional mimosa on the menu but I definitely love seeing fun plays on the classic mimosa recipe too. This one is a combination of rainbow sherbet and either champagne or prosecco.
Let’s start with…how to make a mimosa?
A mimosa typically combines juice and champagne. The traditional mimosa recipe you find just about anywhere is orange juice and champagne. Since it is lower in cost usually, you will see a prosecco mimosa on the menu in a lot of places too. You may also other juice options offered in place of orange juice.
What is the best champagne for a mimosa?
That really depends. A dry champagne (brut) is usually the standard but a lot of people prefer a less dry or even a prosecco which is typically a little sweeter. If you want an even sweet sparkling wine or champagne, you can go with sec or demi-sec champagne. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer but should be a matter of choice.
Steps to Make a Sherbet Mimosa
A mimosa is so easy to make that it almost seems to silly to actual write up a mimosa recipe. For this recipe, I like to put sugar on the rim of my glass for fun. Just dip the top of the glass in juice or rim it with an orange. Then, dip into sugar.
Rainbow sherbert is so ideal for this because it still offers that citrusy taste similar to orange juice.
Once you have the sherbet in the glass (I use about a full scoop to scoop and a half), pour your champagne or prosecco in.
These rainbow sherbert mimosas make the ultimate bridal shower drink and are so perfect for a girl’s day brunch too.
