Fresh is Best
Whenever possible, use fresh juice. It adds a vibrant flavor that’s often missing from store-bought versions and makes your mimosas taste like they were made by a professional.
Chill Everything
Keep your champagne, juices, and even your glasses well-chilled before mixing. This ensures your mimosas are refreshingly cold and crisp with every sip.
