Best MOMosa Recipe
Mimosas are perfect as a Mother's Day treat (this is a MOMosa, after all!). There is nothing I love more on Mother's Day than spending time with my family while getting to enjoy a sweet treat like this!
The ingredient that makes a mimosa recipe even better is sherbet. Adding sherbet to this orange mimosa was the best idea. In fact, sherbet is what makes this MOMosa the best mimosa recipe ever!
You can make Momosas non-alcoholic by using sparkling cider instead of champagne, so MOMosas are perfect for a baby shower, too!
Once I tried this mimosa recipe, I will never make mimosas any other way! It is amazing.

Orange sherbet really sets our recipe apart from your average mimosa!
What is a mimosa?
Mimosa is a mixture of champagne or sparkling wine and juice. Orange juice is the traditional choice for a mimosa recipe, but you can also use other fruity juices. Cranberry is another popular choice!
Mimosas are the perfect brunch cocktail recipe for a special day, especially if you're serving them with eggs benedict.
Momosa Ingredients
- orange sherbet
- Splash of orange juice (how much is your preference)
- champagne
- Optional: fruit for skewers, such as fresh berries
Top it off with orange juice, champagne, and some fresh fruit, and it tastes like an orange creamsicle drink. The sweet, fruity flavor makes a perfect pair with the champagne.
It really takes this mimosa drink to another level of deliciousness! It's like adding your favorite ice cream to soda to make a float - but even better.
In the end, I like to add a little bit of fresh fruit. Raspberries and blackberries are my choices, but any fresh berries will do.
How to Make Mimosas
- Add orange sherbet to a glass of your choice.
- Slowly pour champagne. It will fizz up quite a bit, so do this a little bit at a time and not all at once.
- Top off the glass with a splash of orange juice, according to taste.
4. Top with fruit such as fresh berries if you like.
How to Make Non-Alcoholic Mimosas
To make non-alcoholic mimosas, use sparkling cider instead of wine or champagne.
Everyone can enjoy this delicious drink using sparkling cider! And trust me, you're going to want to share this recipe with your friends. It is that good.
Best Champagne for Mimosas
A true Champagne is an ultimate choice for a luxurious, delicious bubbly drink!
You can also use Cava or Prosecco, which are similar sparkling wines. Cava, a Spanish sparkling wine, or a dry Prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine, are perfect choices for making mimosas.
Mimosa Recipe Tips
- Remember to always uncork your champagne with the cork facing away from yourself.
- Slowly pour in the orange juice and champagne. Don't add it in all at once! The sherbet will fizz up quite a bit, so to avoid spilling over the glass, pour it in slowly.
- Try other flavors of sherbet, like raspberry, strawberry, or even rainbow, to mix things up! You could even use a mixture of flavors like raspberry and orange.
- Mimosa ratio: For a cup of champagne, 2-3 scoops of sherbet using a regular spoon is plenty.
- You can make Mimosas non-alcoholic by using sparkling cider instead of champagne, so MOMosas are perfect for a baby shower, too!
What to Serve with Mimosas
The perfect brunch dessert is always Homemade Strawberry Shortcake.
