Helpful Tips:
- Use a skewer or long stirring stick to make the maraschino cherry drink topper.
- I do not suggest making these in advance as the champagne will go flat and nobody likes a flat bubbly drink. This festive drink is best served immediately.
- Using quality ingredients for this recipe only makes the finished product taste that much better.
- Do not use a cocktail shaker or you risk making the champagne go flat (or risk having a mess everywhere).
- I use orange juice without pulp. However, if you’re a pulp person, go for it.
- This drink recipe is for an individual drink but if you want to make an entire batch, just multiply the recipe by however many 8 oz. drinks you’ll need. Then you can put it into a large punch bowl and serve that way.
What You Need to Make A Grinch Mimosa
- Orange Juice – I prefer the zero pulp, 100% orange juice but you can use any you’d like.
- Champagne – A dry champagne works best typically for mimosas and it doesn’t have to be expensive.
- Blue Curacao – Blue curacao is a must for this ingredient since it is tined blue, it gives us the perfect Grinch green color when mixed with the orange juice.
- Maraschino Cherries- These are optional but I love how Christmasy they make the drink look.
- Grinch Toppers – Optional but again, adds a festive touch to the drink
- Jigger – Optional but makes measuring easier
- Stemless Champagne Glasses – These are the exact ones I used.
