Photo: Orange Cream Mimosa Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (5 to 6 oranges)
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup superfine sugar
- 1 bottle sparkling wine or Champagne*
- Strawberries, for garnish
- *Non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling cider, or ginger ale can be substituted
Directions
Put orange juice, zest, half-and-half, and sugar into a blender and process until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Pour this mixture into a shallow pan and freeze until hard, 4 hours or overnight.
Remove the frozen orange mixture from the freezer and let it sit to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. With a scoop or tablespoon, scrape out a small scoop and put it into a Champagne glass. Slowly fill the glass with Champagne and serve garnished with strawberries

So good, even if you do it the lazy way like me, not bothering to blend it. I just whisked the ingredients together. These are by far the best mimosas I have ever had. I made these for my boyfriend and I's anniversary. This is the kind of guy who doesn't like champagne or wine, but he love this so much he drank nearly the entire bottle, leaving me with only a glass! A definite hit on Mother's day as well. Everyone raves about these. It is well worth the effort of squeezing fresh oranges.

Good goin Tyler! If you like Mimosa's you will love this one. It keeps your drink cold and it was a delicious treat for a Sunday brunch. Now everyone is asking for the recipe. I highly recommend trying it out. Froze the mixture overnight and it was perfect the next day. The 5 stars is justified, and so simple to make.

I love this drink. Because I am not a huge orange juice fan, I mostly make this drink with grapefruit juice instead. Either way, wonderful, wonderful drink. Festive and fun for any occasion.
