This recipe can be enjoyed as a cocktail or mixed as a mimosa. It’s sweet, tropical but retains its uniqueness without typical ingredients like pineapple or coconut.
The Perfect Brunch Cocktail
When planning (or attending) a brunch, mimosas are on everyone’s mind. Of course, you can’t go wrong with some freshly squeezed juice (orange, grapefruit, or pineapple), but if you’re looking to kick your brunch bevies up just a bit, look no further. This recipe is exactly what you need.
I’ve made this “sangria-style” and added fruits into the pitcher (this can be easily omitted if they aren’t on hand). I added grapefruit, blood oranges, lemons and a few lime slices. They also make an excellent garnish on the glass rim. And if you’re loving these modern, iridescent champagne flutes as much as I am, they were recently purchased from CB2.
Love Potion Mimosa

servings10
minutesIngredients
1 cup Disaronno
1/2 cup Sour Puss Raspberry Liqueur
1.75 litre bottle Orangina or freshly squeezed orange juice
Chilled bottle of sparkling wine, champagne or Sprite
Directions
- In a glass pitcher, pour the Disaronno, raspberry Sour Puss and Orangina and mix with a wooden spoon. Add fresh fruit if desired. Chill.
- To serve, fill glass 1/2 full of the orange mixin and top off with chilled wine or Sprite.
Notes
- This recipe can be made a few hours early. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- I like to use a 1/2 and 1/2 ratio of this for each glass (1/2 glass of mixin and other 1/2 sparkling wine).
- Have ice on hand if your ingredients aren’t chilled, as it’s best served cold.
Enjoy!
