Oh my gosh, you guys. I'm SO excited to share this recipe with you today. I recently went to a lovely brunch, and let me tell you, the Cava mimosa was next-level! But seriously, you don't have to spend a fortune on this delicious beverage. I've mastered the perfect recipe using Cava, and I'm going to let you in on the secret. It's so easy to make, you'll be amazed.
What makes this recipe special? It's all about the Cava! Cava, a Spanish sparkling wine, gives this mimosa a unique depth and complexity that you won't find in your average mimosa made with Prosecco. Think brighter, crisper bubbles and a more refreshing taste, perfect for that lazy Sunday brunch. It's also way more sophisticated than that OJ and bubbly your friend from college would whip up in a hurry.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Chill the Cava bottle thoroughly in an ice bucket or refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before starting. This is crucial for maintaining that beautiful fizz!
- Once the Cava is well-chilled, gently pour the desired amount of Cava into a champagne flute. A good starting point is about 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml).
- Carefully measure the orange juice. I love to use fresh squeezed orange juice but you can use good quality store-bought juice in a pinch. Add between 1-2 ounces (30-60 ml) of chilled orange juice to the Cava in the flute. Again, adjust this to your taste!
- Gently stir the Cava and orange juice together with a long spoon. Do it smoothly, dont' want to loose those pretty bubbles!, and avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent the mimosa from becoming flat.
- Add an optional garnish, if desired. A thin orange slice, a few fresh berries, or even a small sprig of mint make the Cava mimosa look even more inviting..
- Enjoy immediately! Savor the refreshing and delightful flavors of your homemade Cava mimosa. Don't rush it, it's a treat for the senses!
📝 Notes
- Use a good quality Cava for the best flavor.
- Adjust the Cava to orange juice ratio to your preference.
- Chill both the Cava and orange juice thoroughly before mixing.
- Serve immediately for the best fizz!
