Ingredients
-
1 oz tequila
-
1 oz Grand Marnier (or Cointreau)
-
3 oz Prosecco (or Cava)
-
4 oz fresh orange juice
-
Splash of grenadine
-
Orange slice and maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Preparation
Step 1: Chill your ingredients and glass
Chill the Prosecco, orange juice, and glass ahead of time. You can also place the glass in the freezer for 10 minutes for an extra frosty serve.
Step 2: Add the spirits and juice
In a mixing glass or shaker (no ice needed), combine 1 oz tequila, 1 oz Grand Marnier, and 4 oz fresh orange juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
Step 3: Pour into glass
Fill your chilled champagne flute or mimosa glass about halfway with the orange mixture.
Step 4: Top with bubbles
Slowly pour in 3 oz chilled Prosecco or Cava. Do not stir—let the bubbles lift and mix naturally.
Step 5: Add grenadine and garnish
Finish with a splash of grenadine, which will sink slightly and give the drink a sunrise effect. Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
Variation

FAQs
Can I use champagne instead of Prosecco?
Yes, dry champagne or sparkling wine works great—just make sure it’s not too sweet.
Is this strong for a brunch drink?
It’s a bit boozier than a standard mimosa but still refreshing. You can reduce the tequila to ½ oz if desired.
What kind of tequila works best?
A good-quality blanco tequila is ideal for a clean finish, but reposado adds a subtle warmth.
Can I make a pitcher of this?
Yes. Combine tequila, orange juice, and liqueur in a pitcher. Pour into glasses and top with chilled Prosecco just before serving.
Will the grenadine mix in fully?
It’ll settle slightly and create a sunrise-like gradient. Stir gently if you prefer a uniform color.
