Looking for the best champagnes & sparkling wines for mimosas? Head to Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits – physically or virtually. We offer seven brick-and-mortar locations on Grand Cayman as well as an online store that’s paired with free delivery.
The taste of your mimosa will depend largely on the quality of the bubbly you choose to accentuate with a splash of orange juice. For a scrumptious mid-day mimosa, collect your favorite orange juice, set of champagne flutes, and your choice of champagne or sparkling wine.

Mimosa Recipe with Prosecco
Total Time: 2 minutes

- 3 cups (750 ml/24 oz.) of orange juice
Instructions:
- Fill the flutes halfway with prosecco.
- Top the flutes with orange juice.

NOTES:
- Use champagne flutes to preserve the bubbles; wine glasses are a secondary choice.
- Chill the glasses to avoid needing ice! You should also use chilled prosecco and orange juice.
- Buy pulp-free orange juice, or strain your fresh-squeezed orange juice. No one likes a pulp-filled mimosa.
