The Mama Mimosa
about.com
Orange Juice (1 half gallon carton)
Champagne or Sparkling Wine (750 mL bottle)
Orange Liqueur
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Pour the carton of chilled orange juice into a 3 quart pitcher and then add the full bottle of chilled Champagne or sparkling wine. Next add 2 shots of orange liqueur and stir the orange juice, Champagne, and orange liqueur until thoroughly mixed.
Just before serving add the raspberry ice* to the pitcher and pour about 4 ounces of the mimosa mix into Champagne flutes (or if you’d like to show off more of the raspberry ice, pour the mimosa mix into regular wine glasses).
* Raspberry ice – crumble fresh raspberries and place the crumbles into narrow ice cube trays, fill with water and freeze. Adds a very nice touch to any Mimosa!
