Poor Man’s Mimosa

Mimosas can be a good way to start out a relaxing Sunday morning, but it’s very rare to have leftover champagne on hand. And, unless you’ve got loads of company, you wouldn’t want to open a bottle of wine at breakfast.

The following recipe is quite good and takes advantage of ingredients you’re more likely to have around.

1/2 cup dry-ish white wine (e.g. Sauvingnon Blanc or Pinot Grigio from dinner the night before)
2 TB. frozen orange juice
Sparkling water (e.g. San Pelligrino)

Stir together the wine and frozen orange juice in a glass. Top with sparkling water and stir gently. Serve on ice if desired.

This is also good with dry rose.
