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