BFF Mimosa

It’s the weekend and your friends are coming over for brunch. Why not welcome them with a BFF Mimosa? Or heck, it’s Tuesday, you got up and dressed, you deserve a BFF Mimosa. The BFF Mimosa is made my mango nectar, Cointreau or any citrus liquour and Prosecco. Why BFF? Because as you and your friends are “best friends forever”, mango and citrus are BFFs. They are a perfect match and go together really well. Just like you and your BFFS!

Start your BBF Mimosa with chilled mango nectar. You don’t want to have to add ice to your drink and it is best when it is nicely chilled. I prefer the mango nectar, is thicker because of the light pulp included with the liquid and makes it smoother. Use any citrus liquor you have like Cointreau or Grand Marnier. If you use any of the colored citrus liquors is going to change the color of your drink and will loose the beautiful shine of the mango nectar.

I prefer Prosecco, especially the Brut type. It is drier and makes helps to balance the sugars on the drink. If you prefer your drinks sweeter, then use the Demi-Sec Prosecco or even a sparkling sweet wine. But trust me, the Prosecco Brut is not going to fail you when it comes to flavor!

This recipe is for a 6 oz champagne glass, but in the notes I included the amounts if you want to make a pitcher of the Mimosa. Mimosas you want to serve promptly as you make them so they can keep the bubbles that makes them fun! Salud!
