Mimosa Punch

Picture a table filled with brunch favorites, fresh flowers, and friends catching up over glasses of bubbly cocktails. That’s exactly where this Mimosa Punch shines. It takes everything people love about a classic mimosa and turns it into an easy pitcher drink that everyone can enjoy together.

Instead of mixing one glass at a time, this recipe lets you serve a crowd in minutes. The combination of sparkling wine, orange juice, ginger ale, and triple sec creates a light, citrusy punch with plenty of refreshing bubbles. Fresh orange slices and raspberries make it just as beautiful as it is delicious. I love making this recipe for holidays and weekend gatherings because it feels festive without requiring much work.

Ingredients

Each ingredient in this Mimosa Punch helps create a balanced drink that is fruity, refreshing, and easy to sip. The sparkling wine provides crisp bubbles while the ginger ale adds a touch of sweetness without overpowering the citrus.

• 1 bottle sparkling wine chilled
• 16 oz orange juice chilled
• 16 oz ginger ale chilled
• 8 oz triple sec
• 1 orange thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Using chilled ingredients is important because it keeps the punch cold without watering it down. Fresh orange juice offers the brightest flavor if you have it, but a quality store bought juice also works well. Fresh raspberries add a pop of color and a subtle berry flavor as they mingle with the punch.

Suggested Liquor Brands and Substitutions

One of the great things about Mimosa Punch is that you don’t need expensive bottles to make it taste fantastic. A crisp sparkling wine and a quality orange liqueur are all you need.

• La Marca Prosecco is light, crisp, and one of the most popular choices for brunch cocktails.
• Freixenet Cava brings bright citrus notes and excellent value.
• Korbel Brut is another reliable sparkling wine with balanced bubbles.
• Cointreau can replace triple sec if you want a smoother orange liqueur with a richer citrus flavor.
• Grand Marnier adds a slightly deeper orange taste with hints of brandy.
• Sparkling water or lemon lime soda can replace ginger ale if you want to adjust the sweetness.

Feel free to swap raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries depending on what’s in season.

Equipment and Glassware

You won’t need any fancy bar tools to make this punch. Most kitchens already have everything required.

You’ll need:

• Pitcher
• Long Spoon
• Jigger
• Wine Glass

A clear punch bowl is especially nice if you’re serving guests because it shows off the colorful fruit floating throughout the drink.

How to Make It

This recipe comes together in just a few minutes. The biggest secret is adding the sparkling wine last so it keeps as much fizz as possible.

1. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine orange juice, triple sec, and ginger ale.
2. Add the orange slices and raspberries.
3. Slowly pour in the sparkling wine.
4. Stir gently to mix without flattening the bubbles.
5. Serve in glasses as is or over ice.

If you’d like an even colder punch without diluting it, chill the serving glasses before pouring.

Pro Tips

A few simple details can make your Mimosa Punch look and taste even better. These tips help keep every glass fresh and bubbly.

• Chill every ingredient before mixing. Cold ingredients help preserve the bubbles.
• Add the sparkling wine last to maintain its fizz.
• Stir gently instead of vigorously so the carbonation stays lively.
• Slice the oranges thinly so they fit easily into each glass.
• Wait until serving time before combining everything for the freshest flavor.
• Use frozen raspberries if you want to keep the punch colder without adding ice.
• Prepare the fruit ahead of time to make assembly even faster.

After you’ve made the classic version, try changing the fruit or juice to match the season or the occasion.

Variations

This punch is easy to personalize while keeping its sparkling personality. Small changes can give you a completely different flavor profile.

• Berry Mimosa Punch: Add sliced strawberries and blueberries along with the raspberries.
• Peach Mimosa Punch: Replace some of the orange juice with peach nectar.
• Tropical Mimosa Punch: Mix in pineapple juice and garnish with pineapple slices.
• Cranberry Mimosa Punch: Swap part of the orange juice for cranberry juice during the holidays.
• Non Alcoholic Mimosa Punch: Use alcohol free sparkling wine or sparkling white grape juice and skip the triple sec.

Each variation is easy to make and works well for different celebrations throughout the year.

When to Serve and Pairings

Mimosa Punch is one of those cocktails that fits almost any daytime celebration. It feels right at home during weekend brunches, baby showers, bridal showers, Mother’s Day, Easter, Christmas morning, and New Year’s gatherings.

Serve it alongside:

• Quiche
• Fresh fruit salad
• Cinnamon rolls
• Breakfast casseroles
• Croissants
• Smoked salmon bagels

If you’re building a brunch cocktail menu, pair this punch with recipes like a Bellini, Aperol Spritz, French 75, or classic Mimosa for plenty of sparkling options.

Storage and Serving Notes

This punch is best served immediately after mixing because sparkling wine gradually loses its carbonation.

If you’re preparing for a party, combine the orange juice, triple sec, fruit, and ginger ale ahead of time. Keep the mixture refrigerated, then add the sparkling wine just before serving.

Leftover punch can be refrigerated for a day, although the bubbles will become less noticeable over time.
