To rim your glass in sprinkles dip the top of your glasses in water, and then roll the lip into the gold sprinkles and spin.
Carefully open your bottle of sparkling wine.
Slowly pour the wine into each champagne flute. This may take a few tries as the bubbles calm down. Don't forget to leave enough room for the orange juice!
Add about 1 tablespoon of ornage juice per drink or until your drink is officially Grinchy enough.
Finally, if you'd like to add the grenadine to the bottom, ever so slowly pour the syrup over the BACK of a spoon. Let the syrup fall off the spoon and slide down the side of the glass.
Sip and enjoy your festive Grinch Mimosa!
Notes
Color Magic: No need for green food coloring or melon liqueur. The natural color transformation from blue to green is a delightful application of subtractive color mixing.
Flair Tips: If you're using gold sprinkles for rimming the glass, opt for crystal-like ones. They adhere better and won't dissolve quickly.
Grenadine Timing: If you're adding grenadine for a pop of red, do so just before serving. The bubbles from the sparkling wine can cause it to mix if left to sit.
Serving Size: A full-size bottle of Blanc de Bleu makes about four large mimosas or up to eight small ones. If you're hosting a larger holiday party, plan accordingly.
Versatility: This isn't just a Christmas cocktail. Consider serving it on St. Patrick's Day, Earth Day, or even Dr. Seuss Day for a whimsical green treat.
Gift Idea: A Grinch Mimosa gift basket with a mini bottle of Blanc de Bleu and a personal-sized bottle of orange juice makes a delightful holiday gift.
Teacher's Note: For educators celebrating Dr. Seuss Day, this mimosa is a fun and festive way to unwind after the final school bell rings.
