6/30/2023 0 Comments Best wine for mimosa![]() ![]() I like to take a super fun ice cube tray, like this diamond shaped one, and I freeze the juice. These are my go-to flavors that tend to keep people on their toes: When I create a mimosa bar I may or may not even have OJ….I like to grab other juices and fresh fruits that people might not expect. Anything that sparks my fancy is what I tend to pair with the best grocery store champagne. I hate (yes that is a strong word) OJ and can taste even the smallest amount in my drinks. Now the best part of a mimosa bar is all the fun you can have with them.įun Fact….I NEVER and I do mean NEVER drink a traditional mimosa. If I am adding juice, I typically will add grapefruit juice to create my favorite type of mimosa. “The palate is fresh and clean, with flavors of ripe lemon, green apple and grapefruit framed by mineral undertones” – from the LaMarca website. LaMarca splits are the ones I drink when I am in the main cabin of Alaska Airlines and you know me, I barely like the juice when I actually order a mimosa, so I drink it (practically) right from the bottle. ![]() Barefoot actually suggests that you pair this with fruit…hence mimosa! LaMarca Prosecco This is a dry bubbly, which I always recommend when you’re going to add juice to it. This makes for a perfect traditional mimosa (with OJ) or strawberry mimosas. Korbel suggests that this has crisp flavors of orange, lime, vanilla and a hint of strawberry. Who else stated drinking bubbly with Korbel? When you’re in a pinch and in a hurry, this is easy to grab. They tend to be on the drier side so the flavors balance out a bit when you add the sweet juice to it. So, if I am hosting a mimosa party, it’s off to buy some of the least expensive grocery store champagnes for mimosas. The bubbly I have in my stock pile from wineries I’ve visited, I never add juice to. Yes, I buy certain bubbly when I know that I am adding juice to it. (If you’ve ever done a wine tasting at a winery where they give you tastes of their wines made from grapes in different soil types, you know exactly what I mean.) Bubbles for Mimosas ![]() If you don’t like hints of yeast or minerals, this one isn’t for you. Meiomi Sparkling WineĪnother consistent bubbly. I do like it chilled a bit more, so in my perfect world, I drink this at about 40 degrees. I love the pink color and while it may have a strawberry aroma, I don’t find this overly sweet (and you know I do not like sweet bubbly!). Super fun, right? This is actually harvested and bottled in France. And I really love that toasty, vanilla-y flavor. It’s crisp, but has a bit of a vanilla aroma as well. This is an award winning bubbly that also is very consistent in the taste you’ll get. Mumm Napa Brut PrestigeĪnother one of my go-tos when I am out and can’t find my favorite local wineries. It’s crisp as you’d expect from a brut and very easy to sip on and enjoy. When I am at a restaurant and they have splits, this is typically what I order. This is constant, always giving you a consistent flavor. They are my go to grocery store brands because I can always count on them to be around and they pair well with just about everything. They are consistent in their flavor and will never leave you disappointed. I love these for just sipping on and enjoying with a meal or on their own. These four are the best grocery store champagne for when you want to drink bubbly. So, I rounded up my favorite and the best grocery store champagnes for you to grab when you decide to brave the lines and run in. Now if you know me at all, I typically have a fully stocked bar of bubbly from my favorite wineries, but there is the random occasion that I have to run to the grocery store to pick up a bottle or two. We may be stuck inside, but that doesn’t mean we have to be bored! While everyone else is stocking up on toilet paper and bottled water, you can beat the crowds by heading to the wine aisle and grab a few bubblies for the long days ahead. ![]()
