Step 1
Start by wetting the rims of four champagne glasses with a little water. Then, dip them into some sanding sugar so they get a nice, sparkly coating. Next, pour the Champagne evenly into each glass. Add about two tablespoons of pineapple juice and two tablespoons of blood orange juice to every flute. Finally, give each drink a splash of orange liqueur on top to finish it off. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This drink is bright and refreshing, combining the sweet and tangy flavors of citrus with a bubbly finish. It’s perfect for celebrations or a relaxing brunch. The blood orange adds a beautiful color and a unique twist to the classic mimosa.
How to serve
Serve this drink in elegant champagne flutes for a festive feel. Garnish with a thin slice of blood orange or a sprig of fresh mint to add a pop of color and aroma. It pairs well with light pastries, fresh fruit, or a simple cheese platter.
Storage & leftovers
For the best taste, prepare and serve immediately. If you need to store the juice, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid storing the mixed drink as the sparkling wine will lose its fizz quickly.
