On a lazy Sunday afternoon, you can't go wrong with one of our favorite mimosa recipes. The bubbly cocktail will turn any egg dish or pancake recipe into a fun and celebratory brunch party! You can even set up a mimosa bar with fresh squeezed orange juice and various mix-ins, then let your guests help themselves. Either way, there's one thing that every good mimosa needs and we're not just talking about a pretty garnish. Champagne is the key ingredient in every classic mimosa recipe. All you have to do is pop open a bottle and pour three-quarters of the way into the glass, then top with a splash of your favorite fruit juice: orange, grapefruit, or even cranberry. But how do you know which champagne brand to use?

Here, you'll find our picks for the best champagnes for mimosas, including options for budget-friendly bottles, sparkling roses, and even a non-alcoholic champagne (it's perfect for a baby shower brunch). Looking for a prosecco brand or cava instead? We’ve got those, too! So, step aside coffee (at least for now), because it's all about mimosas when it comes to brunch!
If you like your mimosas on the sweeter side, you should actually look for champagne labeled "dry" or "extra dry." Despite the name, it will be slightly sweeter than a "brut" bubbly ("brut" is not sweet at all). You can also use Prosecco (a variety of sparkling wine made in Italy) that’s great for mimosas. There isn't a best type to use, just pay attention to the labels to see if they are "brut" or "dry" so you can pick out the sweetness level you prefer. In fact, when it comes to which champagnes (or proseccos) are best for mimosas, the choice is yours! Just be sure to stay away from bottles labelled "doux,” "sec," or "demi sec" as they tend to be too sweet when paired with orange juice.
