From a simple Sunday brunch to a big Mother’s Day celebration, the classic mimosa is often the beverage poured. Combining fruit juices with sparkling wine is simple, sweet, and satisfying. For drinkers looking for a bold twist, these recipes from Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Co will impress everyone at the table.
Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Co has a robust line of juices. As a leader in the category, it understands how to highlight those bright, fresh flavors. Whether enjoyed on their own, combined with other juices, or shaken into a cocktail, the juice always satisfies.
With brunch season in full effect, many people are looking for creative takes on a traditional mimosa. Natalie’s shared this recipe for a Tropical Coconut Orange Mango Mimosa.
Building on the Natalie’s Orange Mango juice, the cocktail leans into the tropical vibe. The addition of coconut water adds a luscious mouth feel as well as some subtle flavor. While this mimosa is a touch sweet, it is quite tasty.
When pairing this mimosa with food, consider spicy foods to contrast the sweetness. A bold jerk chicken or even some spicy shrimp skewers would be delicious. For more traditional brunch fare, a hot honey chicken and waffles would be delightful or even a spicy sausage frittata.
