A Different Mimosa



I cooked up Sunday brunch at home recently for K and myself and decided to experiment with the ingredients I had at home to make mimosas. I used Pinot Grigio wine instead of champagne along with some strawberries for garnish and we loved how they tasted.



Ingredients:
1/2 cup chilled white wine
1/3 cup ginger ale
1/4 cup chilled orange juice
Frozen strawberry halves

Makes 1  Mimosa cocktail


What To Do: 
Combine all liquid ingredients and use a cocktail stirrer to mix the flavors.  Add frozen strawberries to the top so they help keep the cocktail cool while also providing a hint of strawberry flavor.

Sip and enjoy!

  11. This sounds really yummy and refreshing! I love the strawberries added in and the ginger ale gives it the bubbly effect minus the bubbly! Love it! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

  12. YUM! My husband I love putting together mimosa bars whenever we host brunch with our neighbors. We like to mix it up and use European soda instead of juice, and his signature is a grand marnier floater :)

  16. YUM! You know you had me at mimosa! I love the idea of incorporating pinot grigio, and you still get the bubbles with the gingerale <3

  18. What a great twist on a mimosa! It seems like the best option when you don't have champagne available, and it's so pretty too with the strawberries!

  24. I love this! Twists on a mimosa I enjoy better than the actual regular mimosa!

  25. Had my first mimosa at brunch a couple weekends ago, so delicious! However I do have to say I refer the rush of caffeine in the morning. After brunch I wanted to go home and take a nap lol. We'll have to try these on our next girls day. Thanks for the recipe!

  28. Yummy! No joke... my future sister in law and I were just wondering on Sunday if you could make mimosas out of wine when we were at a shower - if only we had seen this sooner! lol
