Tasting Notes
This Mimosa Punch is light, fruity, and easy to sip. You get the familiar citrus of a mimosa with a little more personality. Orange juice brings the bright base, while ginger ale adds bubbles and a soft sweetness. Triple sec layers in orange flavor with a mild kick. Sparkling wine keeps it fresh and crisp. Raspberries give pops of tartness, and the orange slices float beautifully in the bowl. It’s not too strong, which makes it ideal for longer events or day drinking. The flavors stay balanced and smooth from start to finish.
Equipment and Glassware
You’ll need a large punch bowl or pitcher, a long spoon for stirring, and a ladle or scoop. For serving, use stemless wine glasses, coupe glasses, or any small tumbler. A citrus juicer is helpful if you’re squeezing fresh orange juice, and a sharp knife will make thin, even slices of orange. Chill everything ahead of time so you don’t need much ice too much will water it down. If you’re serving outside, a covered dispenser helps keep bugs out and bubbles in.
