Mimosa
Ingredients:
1 bottle (750ml) prosecco or Champagne
1/2 cup (120ml) fresh orange juice
1/4 cup (60ml) triple sec
Method:
1. In a large pitcher, combine the prosecco, orange juice, and triple sec.
2. Divide the mimosa evenly among glasses.
A classic mimosa is simply orange juice and Champagne, but this triple sec version is a delicious way to change things up. The key to a good mimosa is to use fresh orange juice and good quality Champagne or prosecco.
Potential changes & improvements:
-For a more festive mimosa, add a splash of grenadine or pomegranate juice.
-If you want a stronger drink, add a shot of vodka or gin.
-For a non-alcoholic mimosa, use sparkling cider or lemonade in place of the Champagne or prosecco.

Common Mistakes:
-Not using fresh orange juice
