Mimosas are a great breakfast cocktail, so naturally they pair well with any breakfast or brunch dishes.

Sunrise mimosa
A fun spin on the classic mimosa, adding a splash of grenadine gives you a twist that’s both colourful and flavourful.

Don’t use a top-quality champagne for this – mimosas are a fantastic option when you open a bottle of sparkling that’s not quite to your taste.
I haven’t included specific measurements as the size of champagne flutes can vary.
You only need a few drops of grenadine to add both colour and flavour, so go easy – you can always add more once it settles at the bottom!

Directions
1
Pour the bubbles
1. Fill a champagne flute 2/3 of the way with champagne or sparkling wine.
2. Top the rest of the glass up with orange juice.
3. Add a few drop of grenadine, and watch the colours change as it settles on the bottom.
Tip: Start with a few drops of grenadine, or about 1/4 of a teaspoon. You don’t need much grenadine to add colour and flavour.
