Print Recipe

A bright, bubbly brunch cocktail mixing craft beer with fresh orange and grapefruit juices for a refreshing twist on the classic mimosa.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (355 ml) craft beer (light IPA, wheat beer, or pilsner recommended)
  • 4 oz (120 ml) fresh orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 oz (60 ml) fresh grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Thin orange or grapefruit slices for garnish
  • Fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill your craft beer in the fridge for at least a couple of hours and place glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Squeeze the oranges and grapefruit to obtain 4 oz of orange juice and 2 oz of grapefruit juice. Strain if desired to remove pulp.
  3. In a small pitcher or mixing glass, combine the orange juice, grapefruit juice, and simple syrup if using. Stir gently and adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Fill each chilled glass about one-third full with the juice mixture, leaving room for the beer.
  5. Slowly pour 12 oz of chilled craft beer into each glass, pouring gently down the side to preserve bubbles and create a foamy head.
  6. Garnish with a thin slice of orange or grapefruit and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a light, citrusy IPA or wheat beer for best flavor. Pour beer slowly down the side of the glass to keep carbonation. Freshly squeezed juice is essential for brightness. Simple syrup is optional depending on sweetness preference. For gluten-free, use gluten-free craft beer or sparkling hard cider. Serve immediately for best fizz.
