Do you want to caffeinate your weekend mornings in the very best way? Of course you do. And we really can’t think of a better suggestion than these colorful, bubbly, and subtly sweet mimosa recipes.
We have the OG OJ for the purists, a sweet strawberry version for fun, and even a tropical mango mix to make things interesting. Honestly. The pure bliss of this moment.
1. Apple Cider Mimosas
Let’s talk about fall vibes in a glass. Yes, friends. I’m gettin’ wild with these apple cider mimosas, and they have become a total favorite.
We’re talking a simple mix of cider and Champagne that is just so fantastic.
You can jazz them up with apple slices and a little sparkling sugar if you want to be extra, but honestly? They are so good on their own. These are sure to be a new autumn go-to.
2. Pineapple Jalapeño Mimosas
Okay, I have a couple of reasons why I’m completely obsessed with these pineapple mimosas.
First, I’m just more of a pineapple juice person than an orange juice person, so the flavor is just better for me. And second, any drink with a little kick of heat is a must-try in my book.
I mean, seriously. What’s not to love?
3. Strawberry Shortcake Mimosa
These strawberry shortcake mimosas are some of the absolute prettiest drinks on this list. They are also among the sweetest and the strongest!
You won’t find any orange juice in this one. The only thing it has in common with a standard mimosa is the sparkling wine.
Beyond that, you’ll be adding strawberry ice cream (YUM!) and vanilla vodka. This combo makes them sweet, thick, creamy, and just spectacularly delicious.
4. Classic Mimosa
Before we dive into all the fun and wild flavors, let’s take a look at the classic.
It’s crisp and has a nice tang with just a tiny bit of sweetness, since traditional ones aren’t super sweet.
Just like all classic mimosa recipes, this one is an easy blend of orange juice and Champagne or Prosecco.
It is the ultimate for a fancy brunch, but it’s also perfect for a hot summer day out by the pool. So get your day started or finished right with this simple, two-ingredient cocktail.
5. Raspberry Mimosa
Are you the type of person who enjoys their drinks with a little extra sweetness? This raspberry mimosa might be a great choice for you.
You’ll sweeten it up with honey, so it’s not as dry as a more typical mimosa.
At the same time, the raspberries are bright, tart, tangy, and sweet, and they bring all that flavor to your glass.
Because there’s some blending and straining involved, this one takes about 15 minutes to make. But the recipe makes eight drinks, which is a pretty good payoff.
6. Blushing Mimosas
These super yummy mimosas get their name from how they look. The mix of pineapple juice, OJ, and grenadine makes it seem like your glass is blushing!
Some people think they look like a Tequila Sunrise or a peach that’s getting ripe. No matter what you think they look like, these drinks are for sure delicious.
They are fruity, have a tropical feel, and aren’t too sweet. They make a lovely and tasty addition to any brunch spread.
7. Tiffany Mimosas
You might not have the cash for a new piece from Tiffany’s, but you can still bring that gorgeous blue color to your next get-together.
These vibrant, almost neon mimosas will have everyone staring. It’s the Blue Curacao that makes them a total showstopper.
Luckily, there’s more to them than just their good looks. They also have an incredible taste that’s sweetly tart with a lemonade base. Yum!
8. Orange Creamsicle Mimosa
Do you like the idea of a mimosa that’s a bit thicker and creamier but think pineapple is too tart? Try adding some heavy cream to the classic recipe.
It is just as fruity as you’d imagine, with a nice, smooth, and rich finish.
9. Pomegranate Mimosas
Pomegranate mimosas are another spectacular option for Christmas parties.
They look a lot like the cranberry mimosas, but these are noticeably sweeter, more tangy, and a little less bittersweet.
And since they have fewer than 100 calories per serving, they are definitely tough to say no to.
10. “MOMosa” Mimosa
Are you a busy mom who is desperately in need of a sweet treat with a boozy little kick? If that’s you, the MOMosa is calling your name.
It has all the flavor and buzz of a regular mimosa. But the scoop of orange sherbet makes it an extra special little treat.
Toss in a few fresh berries for a cocktail that’s even yummier.
11. Meyer Lemon Mimosas
If tart and tangy drinks are your jam, you are going to love these Meyer lemon mimosas.
They look a bit different from most of the other options on this list, but they taste just as spectacular.
They have a ton of bubbles, a whole lot of lemony flavor, and a sugared rim for just a kiss of sweetness. They are gorgeous, elegant, and perfect for more formal events.
12. Dirty Shirley Mimosa
Light, tart, bright, and refreshing, the Dirty Shirley mimosa is just completely delightful.
It’s the mimosa version of the classic Dirty Shirley. Which is the boozy version of the classic Shirley Temple! We’re really going down a rabbit hole here!
It’s a little on the dry side, but the sour mix and grenadine help with that. It’s not too sweet at all. In fact, it’s more sour than sweet. Still incredible, though.
13. Pineapple Dole Whip Mimosas
If you’d prefer that sweet pineapple tang without the spice, give this one a try instead.
You will still get the yummy flavor of a normal pineapple mimosa, but this one is much, much creamier! And that rich whipped topping? Oh, sweet glory.
14. Pink Lemonade Mimosas
Speaking of formal events, check out these pink lemonade mimosas. They look like something you would see at a royal wedding or a bridal shower.
Luckily, you don’t need a special event to whip these up. You’ll just need pink lemonade, Prosecco, fresh berries, and some lemon slices. Oh, and you’ll need to want to have a good time!
You can get four of them ready in about two minutes. Of course, you might want to just go ahead and make eight, twelve, or sixteen, because no one will be able to stop at just one.
15. Tropical Mango Mimosas
Anyone who is as obsessed with mango as I am will go totally nuts for this fruity, tropical drink.
So pull out this mimosa recipe if you’re going to the beach or the pool. It’s great for both.
Plus, it’s super easy to change up to fit your tastes. Use a dry Champagne for a flavor that’s more crisp and tangy. Or, use a sweeter one if you like drinks that are more sugary.
16. Bubbly Peach Mimosas
These four-ingredient peach mimosas are another sweet and yummy choice.
They have a beautiful peach orange color and are so delightfully fruity, thanks to the peach puree, peach nectar, and orange juice.
It’s so fruity that you will barely even taste the alcohol. So be sure to sip slowly!
17. Strawberry Mimosa
A strawberry mimosa takes the original mimosa recipe and throws in half a cup of fresh strawberries.
That makes it a bit sweeter and a lot more fruity. It also gives it a totally enchanting and pretty peachy color.
If Disney Princesses had cocktails at brunch, this is the one they would have.
18. Watermelon Mimosas
Is there anything that is more quintessentially summer than watermelon mimosas?
I mean, those two things are both summer staples. When you put them together, WOW! It’s like you put summer in a bottle and poured it right into your glass.
These light, fresh drinks will be what everyone wants to cool down with when the weather starts to get warm.
19. Peppermint Bark Mimosa
Do you need a fun, festive drink for your next holiday party? What about this candy cane delight?
The crushed candy cane on the rim is enough to get you into the Christmas spirit. And luckily, the drink is just as scrummy.
You will need peppermint vodka and clear Creme de Cacao for that bark flavor. Then, you’ll need something bubbly to add the fizz. It’s super simple, but it will for sure put a smile on your face.
20. Green Pear Mimosas
Fruity and flowery, that is what you are going to get with green pear mimosas.
They perfectly blend elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, and pear nectar, and turn them into a light and delicate drink that is sweet but not too sweet.
Basically, they are kind of perfect. So if you love pears as much as I do, you are definitely going to appreciate this recipe.
21. 2-Ingredient Cranberry Mimosa
Are you looking for something festive for the holiday season? Check out these two-ingredient cranberry mimosas.
All you are going to need is cranberry juice and sparkling wine. Of course, you’ll probably want a sparkling sugar rim to make them look their best. A few fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary won’t hurt, either.
22. Blueberry Lemonade Mimosas
Nope, I did not forget about that other rare lemonade favorite: blueberry lemonade.
This recipe can help you make blueberry mimosas that are completely flawless. They’re totally scrumptious and have the most vibrant, attention-grabbing color. Give these a try if you’re looking for cocktails that will make heads turn.
23. Piña Colada Mimosas
If you like piña coladas… and mimosas… Okay, that’s not exactly how the song goes.
But if you do like both piña coladas and mimosas, you are going to love these four-ingredient cocktails.
They have plenty of sweet, tropical piña colada flavor, but they are also bubbly and bright, just like a mimosa. They’re a terrific drink for taking a trip to your favorite island paradise.
24. Elderflower and Lemon Mimosas
These invigorating cocktails are a must try for anyone who is a fan of mimosas. They are light and delicate, sweet and flowery.
They smell, look, and taste amazing, and you can serve them for almost any occasion. Even better, they’re a total breeze to whip up. You should be able to get a whole tray ready in about 15 minutes.
