Tasting Notes

This Tropical Sunrise Pineapple Mimosa brings a tropical flair to the classic brunch cocktail. Pineapple juice delivers soft sweetness and tang, while Prosecco adds bright bubbles and a crisp, dry finish. The grenadine creates a gentle layering effect, adding color and a touch of berry richness at the base. It’s fruit-forward without being overly sweet, and the bubbles help keep the drink light and refreshing. The maraschino cherry garnish adds a nostalgic touch and a hint of candied fruit aroma. Each sip is clean, juicy, and balanced ideal for daytime occasions or any gathering where a crowd-pleaser is welcome.

Equipment and Glassware

This drink requires minimal equipment. Use a jigger or measuring spoon to portion the grenadine and pineapple juice accurately. A bar spoon can be helpful if you want to guide the grenadine slowly to the bottom without mixing. Serve the mimosa in a Champagne flute or stemless flute to maintain the bubbles and show off the sunrise effect. Keep a small spoon or pick ready to place the cherry garnish neatly. No shaking or straining is needed just a careful pour and a steady hand.
