Refreshing summer drinks Cocktail hour

Lime juice mimosa

Published: 07.18.2017 » Last updated: 07.26.2022

The definition of a mimosa cocktail is a drink made with equal parts orange juice and champagne. But that doesn’t mean there is no elbow room to wiggle in from that strict definition.

Lime juice mimosa garnished with lime slices

Some recipes add triple sec; others include a wee amount of orange liqueur for depth. Even the orange juice can be substituted with some other citrus juice.

What cannot be excluded is sparkling wine. Champagne is traditional but remember that champagne is just a regional designation for sparkling wine produced in Champagne, France.

You can make mimosa with other sparkling wine like prosecco and asti (from Italy), espumante (from Portugal) or cava (from Spain).

Kaffir limes (we have a tree that bears fruit prolifically) were used to make this drink.
