Mimosa Sangria

This post is sponsored by Florida’s Natural Orange Juice.

Alright, all of you brunch-lovers out there.

(And I know you’re out there. ♥)

I have a new recipe for you today that is sure to add a little extra sunshine and sweetness to your morning gatherings. It’s wonderfully quick and easy to make. It’s bright and colorful and will make a lovely addition to any brunch table. It’s naturally sweetened with all sorts of fresh fruit juices, and kicked up a notch with some bubbly for those lazy weekends. And even more perfect, the main ingredient is actually coming to you straight from the Sunshine State itself.

Who’s ready for a glass of mimosa sangria?

That’s right! I’m excited to announce that I’m partnering with Florida’s Natural — maker of my favorite not-from-concentrate OJ, which is grown 100% in the beautiful orange groves of the Sunshine State — to share some juicy new recipes with you these next few months. And when I was thinking of the perfect way to kick off the celebration, a mimosa just seemed like the perfect way to begin…

…especially since today is National Mimosa Day!

How fun of a holiday is that?! I sure hope you’re celebrating. ;)

Without a doubt, you can’t go wrong with the classic OJ + bubbly combo. But if you’re looking for a fun “twist” on the classic, grab some fresh fruit and literally twist them into this sangria version!

It’s super simple.

Just slice up a bunch of fresh strawberries, oranges and pineapple (or any fresh fruit you have on hand will do). Then pour in some not-from-concentrate Florida’s Natural^® Orange Juice (I went with the “Some Pulp” variety, but any will do), along with some Grand Marnier to give it a little extra kick (Cointreau or Triple Sec or any other orange liqueur). Then muddle everything together with a spoon and let the orange juice soak up all of those sweet fruity flavors.

And then if you have some restraint, I recommend letting everything chill in the fridge for about an hour so that those flavors can meld together even more. But if you’re feeling impatient (or thirsty), I won’t blame you if you go straight onto the next step…

(*Note, I made a double batch for these photos. Because…brunch.)

…adding in the bubbly!

Simply fill your serving glasses about 1/3 full of the orange juice mixture and top them with the champagne. (Careful, it bubbles up like mad!)

And then these gorgeous cocktails will be ready to serve!

Feel free to tinker around with the recipe however you’d like — making them more or less boozy, subbing in whatever fresh fruits (or even frozen fruits you’ve thawed) that you have on hand, garnishing them with more fruit or umbrellas or whatever looks cute. The orange juice and bubbly are really your main priorities here. So grab a bottle of your favorite dry sparkling wine or champagne (doesn’t have to be expensive), a fresh carton of not-from concentrate Florida’s Natural Orange Juice, and you really can’t go wrong with the rest.

Cheers, friends!
