Make a mimosa with a little something special this Mother’s Day: simply start by pouring champagne in your flute, then garnish each cocktail with fruit and herbs. The delicate details in our two-step cocktails will show mom just how much you care. Our three favourite mimosa recipes, below, include options for mothers who prefer dry, sweet and seasonal mimosas. Cheers, mom! —Julia Dumbrell

The Grapefruit and Rosemary Mimosa

Keep Mother’s Day morning classy and not too sweet, bringing sophisticated brightness with our Grapefruit and Rosemary Mimosa. For this recipe, you’ll be substituting orange for just a dash of grapefruit juice in your champagne flute.

Garnishing with a sprig of rosemary easily adds an aromatic and herbal note. We recommend serving slices of grapefruit and sipping in the sun.

The Mango Mimosa

Embrace the fruits May brings into season with an irresistible mango mimosa. In proportions of your choosing, mix bubbly with mango juice for a tropical take on this classic cocktail. 

The key here is to serve your mimosa with a side of fruit salad, making the centrepiece a perfectly ripe and soft mango. Go full tropical by adding pineapple, melon and fresh coconut for a fresh Mother’s Day morning. She’ll love it!

The Cherry Orange Champagne Twist Mimosa

This is our ultimate go-to for a sweet and memorable Mother’s Day brunch. This tried and true recipe calls for equal parts champagne, orange juice and cherry concentrate. The combination of fizzy bubbles, citrus-packed orange juice and tart cherries packs a perfect punch.

For a fun twist, finish the cocktail off by separating the peel from your fruit with a paring knife, then use your hands to twist the peel in a curled shape. Your mom will love how sweet and adorably these cocktails turn out.
