Tips for the Best Mimosa
🥂 Use Fresh Juice – Store-bought juice works, but fresh-squeezed is always best!
🍾 Go for Dry Champagne – A Brut or Extra Dry champagne balances the citrus tang.
🧊 Keep Everything Chilled – No need for ice, just use super cold ingredients.
🍯 Make it Sweeter – If your grapefruit is too tart, add a dash of honey or simple syrup.
