Tips For Making a Mimosa Float Stronger

If you like your mimosa with a stronger kick, there are a few easy ways to make it happen. Here are some tips to make a stronger mimosa float:

• Add a shot of vodka or tequila to your basic recipe for an extra touch of flavor and strength.
• Substitute orange juice with triple sec or Cointreau for a stronger citrus flavor.
• Use sparkling wines or champagnes with higher alcohol content for extra potency.
• Try adding a splash of your favorite flavored liqueur to create unique and delicious drinks.

Tips to Make Colder Mimosas

I'll be honest, you're not going make a much colder mimosa than a mimosa float. But, for other cocktails might need some help. I get it, a light and refreshing cocktail, mimosas are a must-have for any occasion. But sometimes they can become too warm while sitting out. To keep your mimosa cool and bubbly from start to finish, here are some tips you can use:

• Put the bottle of champagne in an ice bucket or tub with lots of ice. This will keep your bubbly cool and refreshing from beginning to end.
• Use frozen fruits! Frozen raspberries, pineapple chunks, and blueberries are great to add to your mimosa and will help keep it cold. For this particular creamsicle mimosa, I'd use frozen orange slices!
• Chill the glasses in advance. Place them in your freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving to ensure your drink stays cold the longest.
• Use an insulated tumbler or wine glass for your drink. This will help keep the mimosa colder for longer!
• You can freeze your champagne to make this super chilled cocktail. But beware leaving the champagne in the freezer too long because it will solidify a bit and turn into a champagne slushy if you're not careful.

How to store the leftovers?

If you have the champagne and ice-cream already mixed together, I would store it in the freezer right away. Nobody wants a melted ice-cream float. However, if you have not mixed them together the ice cream can go straight into the freezer while the Champagne bottle can go into the fridge.
