A Creamsicle Mimosa needs just four chilled ingredients for a creamy, citrusy sip that feels brunch ready. Keep everything cold for a smooth pour and lively bubbles.

Natural Orange Juice: Fresh and bright, this is the citrus base. Use pulp free if you prefer a smoother texture and chill well.
Half And Half Or Thickened Cream: Adds the silky creamsicle finish. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste. Keep it cold to help prevent curdling.
Prosecco, Champagne, Or Sparkling White Wine: Dry bubbles keep the drink crisp. A standard 25.4 ounce bottle equals 750 ml. Chill thoroughly before pouring.
Triple Sec Or Cointreau: A touch of orange liqueur boosts aroma and depth. Use about 2 ounces, then taste and tweak.

Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.

Recipe FAQ’s

Which Sparkling Wine Works Best?

Choose a dry Brut Champagne, Prosecco, or any crisp sparkling white. Dry bubbles keep this creamsicle mimosa recipe refreshing and prevent it from tasting too sweet.

Will The Cream Curdle In Orange Juice?

If everything is well chilled and you mix the orange juice with the half and half first, curdling is unlikely. Add the sparkling wine slowly and finish with the liqueur, and avoid using regular milk which is more prone to curdling.

What Can I Use Instead Of Cointreau Or Triple Sec?

Any quality orange liqueur works. For an alcohol free option, use a little orange syrup or a drop of vanilla to keep that orange dream mimosas flavor.
