Perfect for Easter brunch, spring celebrations, or just because

let’s pop some bubbly and make it happen!

What You’ll Need

  • 4 oz champagne or prosecco
  • 2 oz carrot juice (fresh is best!)
  • 1 tsp honey or simple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

For the Rim:

  • 2 tbsp honey or simple syrup
  • ¼ cup sugar (white or orange-tinted for fun!)

For Garnish:

  • Thin carrot ribbon or small carrot slice

Pro Tips

  1. Chill everything! Cold champagne and carrot juice make the best mimosas.
  2. Fresh juice is best. If you can, use freshly pressed carrot juice for the sweetest, freshest flavor.
  3. Want a layered effect? Pour the champagne first, then slowly add the carrot juice.
  4. Make it non-alcoholic! Use sparkling water or ginger beer instead of champagne.
  5. Extra fun? Add a splash of orange juice or pineapple juice for a fruitier version.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Champagne flute
  • Small plate for rimming
  • Spoon for drizzling honey

Substitutions & Variations

  • No alcohol? Use sparkling water or ginger ale instead.
  • Sweeter version? Add ½ oz vanilla syrup or maple syrup.
  • Citrusy twist? Mix in a splash of fresh orange juice for a brighter flavor.

Instructions
