This easy Grinch mimosa requires just 3 ingredients and a couple minutes to throw together. It’s perfect for Christmas brunch or entertaining during the holiday season!
To your champagne flute, add the orange juice and Hpnotiq (or other blue liquor) and stir to combine. Make sure you like the hue (you can tweak slightly by adding more of one color if needed)
2 Ounces orange juice, 1 Ounce Hpnotiq
Top your glass with champagne
3 Ounces champagne or prosecco
Garnish if desired, and enjoy!
Garnishes if desired
Notes
In place of the Hpnotiq (which is a blend of vodka, cognac, and tropical fruit juice), you can use another blue alcohol, such as UV blue (blue raspberry) vodka, blue curacao, or even plain vodka with 2-3 drops of green food coloring added. Note that the colors will vary slightly between brands and varieties of alcohol
Champagne flutes range in size from 6-10 ounces. This recipe assumes the use of a 6-ounce glass. You may need to adjust proportions if your glasses are larger or smaller
Garnish options include: maraschino cherries, a heart-shaped red gummy candy, strawberries cut into a heart shape, or a red decorating sugar rim. These are entirely optional, but add a fun touch!
2 Ingredient Option: Use blue champagne and orange juice to cut down on ingredients!
Mocktail variation: To make a non-alcoholic mocktail Grinch mimosa, use blue Kool-Aid or a blue sports drink in place of the blue liquor, and add sparkling water or sparkling apple juice in place of the champagne
To make a pitcher for a party, simply scale the recipe for the desired number of servings
The juice and blue liquor may be combined up to 72 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. However, champagne should be added only just before serving, for maximum fizziness
Leftover Grinch mimosas may be stored in a sealed container or pitcher for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, but will continue to lose fizz over time
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand and variety of ingredients, any garnishes added, and size of glasses, so please consider this a guideline only
