Servings 6

4 oz. pulp free orange juice
½ to 1 oz. triple sec (optional)
2 oz. champagne —or Prosecco, Cava, dry sparkling wine, or sparkling grape juice
Spoonful of Grenadine optional
Seeded orange slices and/or maraschino cherries, to garnish

Pour orange juice into a champagne glass or drinking glass. Add triple sec, if desired.
Tilt the glass slightly, and then pour champagne or sparkling wine into the glass. Allow the champagne to mingle with the other ingredients.
If a sunrise mimosa is desired, add a spoonful of Grenadine around the inner edges of the glass. The Grenadine creates a pretty red and orange ombré effect that is perfect for serving at brunch.
Garnish the drinks with seeded sliced oranges, if desired. Each sunrise mimosa can also be garnished with a maraschino cherry.

Use a 1:1 ratio of orange juice to sparkling wine or sparkling grape juice for a sweeter drink.
