Print Recipe

A bright and tangy grapefruit mimosa combining freshly squeezed grapefruit juice with bubbly champagne for a refreshing brunch drink that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh grapefruit juice (preferably Ruby Red grapefruit)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) champagne or sparkling wine, chilled (brut or extra dry)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh grapefruit slices for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll 2-3 medium Ruby Red grapefruits firmly on the counter to loosen the juice. Cut each in half and use a citrus juicer to extract about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh juice. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. If making homemade simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan, heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then cool. Measure 2 tablespoons (30 ml). If using store-bought, measure out 2 tablespoons.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the fresh grapefruit juice and simple syrup. Stir gently to blend flavors, tasting to adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Ensure your champagne or sparkling wine has been chilled in the fridge for at least 2 hours before mixing.
  5. Slowly pour the chilled champagne into the grapefruit mixture, stirring gently with a whisk or spoon to keep the bubbles alive. This step takes about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour the mimosa into champagne flutes, garnish with a thin slice of grapefruit and a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately for the best bubbles and freshest flavor.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for best flavor. Keep champagne and glasses well chilled to maintain bubbles. Stir gently to preserve fizz. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Adjust simple syrup to taste depending on grapefruit sweetness.
