Andre California champagne is a fantastic choice for making mimosas. The crisp and refreshing nature of this dry sparkling wine pairs perfectly with the citrusy flavors of orange juice in a mimosa.
To make a classic mimosa with Andre, start by chilling a bottle of Andre Brut in the refrigerator. It's important to serve mimosas cold, so having a chilled bottle of Andre on hand is essential.
Next, gather your ingredients. You'll need freshly squeezed orange juice and, of course, your chilled bottle of Andre Brut. I highly recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor, but if you're in a pinch, store-bought orange juice will do just fine.
When you're ready to make your mimosas, pour about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of orange juice into a champagne flute. The amount of orange juice you use can vary depending on your preferences – some people like a stronger orange flavor, while others prefer a more balanced ratio of juice to champagne.
Once you've poured the orange juice into the flute, slowly top it off with the chilled Andre Brut. Be careful not to pour too quickly, as the carbonation in the champagne can cause it to overflow. The gentle fizz of the Andre adds a delightful effervescence to the mimosa.
Give the mimosa a gentle stir with a long spoon or a cocktail stirrer to ensure the orange juice and champagne are well combined. And voila! Your mimosa with Andre is ready to be enjoyed.
The beauty of mimosas is that they can be customized to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter mimosa, you can add a touch of simple syrup or a flavored liqueur like peach schnapps or raspberry liqueur. For a festive touch, you can garnish your mimosa with a slice of fresh orange or a sprig of mint.
I've personally enjoyed many mimosas made with Andre, and they never disappoint. The bright and citrusy flavors of the orange juice complement the crisp and dry nature of the Andre Brut perfectly. Whether you're brunching with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a lazy Sunday morning, mimosas with Andre are always a crowd-pleaser.
So, go ahead and grab a bottle of Andre Brut, some fresh orange juice, and raise a glass to a delightful and refreshing mimosa experience. Cheers!
