Aperol spritz mimosas combine fresh orange juice, bittersweet Aperol, and chilled Prosecco for a vibrant, bubbly brunch cocktail. They are citrusy, refreshing, lightly bitter, and easy to prepare for gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Aperol
  • Prosecco, well chilled
  • Fresh orange juice
  • Soda water, optional
  • Ice, optional
  • Fresh orange slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill the wine glasses or champagne flutes before assembling the cocktails.
  2. Pour fresh orange juice into each glass.
  3. Add the Aperol and gently swirl the glass to combine it with the orange juice.
  4. Slowly top each glass with chilled Prosecco, pouring carefully to control the foam.
  5. Add a small splash of soda water if a lighter, more traditional spritz-style finish is desired.
  6. Give each cocktail one very gentle stir to combine without losing too much carbonation.
  7. Garnish each glass with a fresh orange slice.
  8. Serve immediately while cold and sparkling.

Notes

  • Freshly squeezed orange juice provides the brightest citrus flavor.
  • Keep the Aperol, Prosecco, orange juice, and serving glasses thoroughly chilled to minimize the need for ice.
  • For a sweeter mimosa, increase the orange juice. For more bittersweet Aperol flavor, increase the Aperol and reduce the juice.
  • Add extra soda water for a lighter and more refreshing spritz.
  • Blood orange juice can replace regular orange juice for deeper color and a slightly different citrus flavor.
  • Replace some of the orange juice with fresh grapefruit juice for a tarter variation.
  • Freeze orange juice in ice cube trays for flavorful ice that keeps the cocktails cold without watering them down.
  • For an alcohol-free version, use a non-alcoholic bitter orange aperitif and alcohol-free sparkling wine.
  • The Aperol and orange juice can be combined and refrigerated shortly before serving a crowd.
  • Always add the Prosecco immediately before serving to preserve its carbonation.
