Passion Fruit Mimosa
My Passion Fruit Mimosa is a delightful champagne cocktail that is perfect for brunch, a special afternoon lunch, or as an apéritif to your evening meal. This simple 3 ingredient recipe combines passion fruit juice, brandy, and Champagne to make the most wonderful cocktail! Make this easy cocktail recipe for one with a split bottle of Champagne, or use a full bottle to serve up to 8 of your friends. A lovely cocktail to serve for Valentine’s Day brunch, or anytime you want a Champagne or prosecco based cocktail!
Champagne Paloma Cocktail
Our Champagne Paloma Cocktail is the perfect grapefruit cocktail for spring or summertime! Full of tangy and bright citrus flavor, this tequila based cocktail is made with fresh squeezed juice, and topped off with a bit of Champagne (or Prosecco). The first sip of this light and effervescent cocktail will likely put a smile on your face.
Blood Orange Mimosa
This Blood Orange Mimosa is delightfully refreshing, and the bright crimson color makes this cocktail a show stopper! Mimosas are not just for brunch, and this brilliant cocktail can definitely be served any time of day! Our Blood Orange Mimosa can easily be made ahead, which makes this the perfect drink for entertaining.
Blood Orange Spritzer (non-alcoholic)
Our Blood Orange Spritzer is vibrant in color and just as bright in flavor. This non-alcoholic spritzer is a twist on the syrupy sweet Italian sodas, and a deliciously refreshing change to plain sparkling water. Although this recipe does use a bit of agave nectar, we used no refined sugar in this drink. So, if you are looking for a healthy alternative to your everyday soda or lemonade, then this is it!
The Launch Cocktail
The Launch is a lovely, refreshing champagne cocktail. Adapted from the French 75, this cocktail is light and very drinkable. It's sure to lift your spirits at the start of a celebratory evening.
“PomMosa” Champagne Cocktail
Rosé champagne and pomegranate juice make this quick and easy, two-ingredient cocktail into a perfectly balanced and delightfully festive drink for brunch or any occasion.
