    two glasses of blood orange mimosas with a pitcher and mint

    Blood Orange Mint Mimosas are officially the most refreshing brunch drink! These pretty blood orange cocktails are filled with fresh blood orange juice, mint simple syrup, and plenty of prosecco for a deliciously easy 5-ingredient pitcher mimosa!

    Why you will love these blood orange mimosas

    Did I mention that these blood orange cocktails only need 5 ingredients?! That alone should tell you why this easy cocktail is SO loveable.

    While I love a traditional mimosa, this prosecco mimosa recipe still sticks to the principles of the classic with a few delicious twists.

    Steps to make pitcher mimosas

    These mimosas can be made in 15 minutes or less, make the perfect pitcher cocktail, and are great to serve to a crowd. Here are the steps to make these refreshing drinks:

    First, make the mint simple syrup

    You may recognize this mint simple syrup recipe from my Iced Mint Latte Recipe! Well, it is the same basic ingredients, just a slightly lower amount.

    To start, simply add ⅓ cup sugar and ⅓ cup water to a saucepan. Cook over low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Then, add in 3 stems of fresh mint and let the mint soak and infuse into the syrup for  5-10 minutes. Then, remove the mint and set aside the mint syrup for later.

    Next, make the blood orange syrup

    I HIGHLY recommend a citrus reamer for this step. Blood oranges are softer than normal oranges and tend to fall apart if juiced by hand.

    For this prosecco mimosa, you will need about 4-5 large blood oranges to get 1 cup (8 oz) of blood orange juice.

    Then, mix the blood orange juice with the mint simple syrup to make a delicious blood orange syrup!

    Finally, add in the prosecco!

    For this blood orange mimosa recipe, you will need 1 bottle of prosecco (750 ml) or champagne (if you're fancy like that!).

    This recipe makes enough to serve 4, so simply double the recipe to make more drinks for a crowd or large party.

    FAQ & Tips:

    What do blood oranges taste like?

    Believe it or not, blood oranges taste a lot like navel oranges but with a hint of raspberry.

    For some reason, to me, they actually remind me a lot of the flavor of fruit punch. I find them to be slightly sweeter than navel oranges and easier to peel. Blood Oranges aren't in season all year round and tend to be available from November- April.

    Can I make these mimosas non-alcoholic?

    You sure can! Just replace the prosecco or champagne with bubbly soda water like La Croix or Spindrift for a non-alcoholic mimosa recipe!

    Can I make mimosas ahead of time?

    You can definitely make the mint simple syrup and juice the orange ahead of time, but you don't want to mix it all together until servings. Otherwise, the prosecco will lose its bubbles and be flat.

    I may be a little biased, but I'm just going to say I think these Blood Orange Mint Mimosas happen to make for the best blood orange juice cocktail. I'll be serving them at my next girl's brunch date along with some fresh Vegan Blueberry Scones!

    Ingredients 
    US Customary - Metric

    • ⅓ cup sugar
    • ⅓ cup water
    • 3 springs fresh mint about 2 Tbsp mint leaves
    • 1 cup blood orange juice juice from about 4-5 blood oranges
    • 1 bottle Prosecco 750 ml

    Instructions

    • First, make the mint simple syrup. To do this add the sugar and water to a small saucepan and cook over low heat until all of the sugar has dissolved. Then, add the mint sprigs to the saucepan of syrup and let soak for 5-10 minutes. Once the syrup has been infused with mint, remove the mint sprigs and add the syrup to the pitcher.
    • Next, juice the blood oranges and add the blood orange juice to the pitcher with the mint syrup. As a final step, add in the bottle of prosecco to the pitcher and stir to combine.
    • Serve the blood orange mint mimosas in 4 small glasses and garnish with extra mint. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Mimosas are best enjoyed the day they are made
    • If making ahead of time, make the mint simple syrup and mix with the blood orange juice. Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add prosecco when you are ready to serve as it will go flat in left to sit too long.
