Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients blend perfectly, balancing sweet citrus, coconut creaminess, and bubbly sparkle. When you shop, I recommend grabbing chilled Champagne and fresh lemonade for the best fizzy, refreshing result.

• Champagne or sparkling wine: Look for a dry or semi-dry bottle you enjoy; Cava is my favorite budget-friendly pick that’s light and bright.
• Blue Curacao: This is the star liquor giving that signature blue color and orange flavor—don’t skip it or the whole mimosa won’t have the same magic.
• Lemonade: Fresh or store-bought, it adds the citrus punch that pairs beautifully with the orange notes in Blue Curacao.
• Sweetened coconut flakes: For rimming the glasses, they’re essential for that tropical flair and a little crunch.
• Honey: Used to help the coconut flakes stick—plus it adds a subtle sweet undertone you’ll appreciate.

Variations

I love experimenting with different takes on this Blue Curacao Champagne Mimosa Recipe—sometimes adding fresh fruit or swapping ingredients to fit the season or party vibe. Feel free to make it your own!

• Non-Alcoholic Version: I discovered this trick when I swapped Champagne for sparkling water and Blue Curacao for its syrup version—still super festive and kid-friendly.
• Tropical Fruit Boost: Adding a splash of pineapple juice ups the tropical feel, and my family goes crazy for this little twist.
• Different Sparkling Wines: Whether you prefer Prosecco, Champagne, or a boutique sparkling wine, each gives a unique character. I used to struggle finding an affordable bubbly until I found Cava!

How to Make Blue Curacao Champagne Mimosa Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Glasses with Coconut Rims

Dip the rim of each Champagne flute in honey—this acts like edible glue. Then, roll the rim in sweetened coconut flakes. Set them aside to dry for a few minutes so the coconut sticks well without falling off when you pour the drink. This step gives that extra touch of class and flavor you don’t want to skip.

Step 2: Pour the Blue Curacao and Lemonade

Divide the Blue Curacao evenly into each glass. Typically, about a quarter cup per glass does the trick to get that vibrant blue and citrus zing. Next, pour lemonade into each flute until the glass is roughly half full. This balance keeps the mimosa refreshing without being too sweet.

Step 3: Top Off with Bubbly Champagne

Finally, gently top each glass with chilled Champagne or sparkling wine. Pour slowly to preserve the bubbles and avoid an overflow! Serve immediately and watch your guests’ faces light up with delight.

How to Serve Blue Curacao Champagne Mimosa Recipe

Garnishes

I often garnish with a wedge of fresh lemon or a twist of orange peel—it accentuates the citrus flavors and looks gorgeous against the blue. Sometimes, I’ll add a sprig of mint to brighten the drink visually and aromatically. You’ll find that these simple touches really elevate your presentation.

Side Dishes

This mimosa pairs amazingly well with light brunch fare—think fluffy scrambled eggs, smoked salmon toast, or tropical fruit salad. I’ve served it alongside coconut pancakes once, and the coconut rim on the glass matched the dish perfectly!

Creative Ways to Present

For a party, I’ve seen friends serve this mimosa in mason jars with fun striped straws, adding edible flowers on top for a fancy touch. One year, I made a mimosa bar with different fruit juices and liqueurs alongside Blue Curacao Champagne to let guests craft their own blends—it was a total hit!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I usually don’t recommend storing made mimosas because the bubbles lose their sparkle quickly. However, if you have leftovers, pour them into an airtight bottle and chill; they’ll keep for a few hours but be less fizzy.

Freezing

Freezing isn’t ideal for this sparkling cocktail—you’ll lose the carbonation and texture. I learned this the hard way when trying to save extras for later. Best to enjoy fresh!

Reheating

Sparkling drinks aren’t meant to be reheated. If you want a warm blue cocktail experience, try a separate warm citrus drink without the Champagne. For this mimosa, fresh is always best!
