The 10 Best Champagnes For Mimosas

No matter the occasion, there’s nothing quite like sipping a sweet

mimosa. The classic brunch cocktail, which traditionally combines orange juice and Champagne, is simple but effective. Tart and refreshing, mimosas are beloved for good reason—they’re delicious.

Since there are just two star ingredients in a classic mimosa, quality ingredients—especially the bubbly—can take your brunch cocktail from good to pitcher-worthy. Not that mimosas always follow such a strict formula: Variations abound, and we’ve got recipes for everything from pomegranate-infused mimosas to tequila-spiked margarita mimosas.

But back to the bubbles. Read on for what we’ve deemed to be the best Champagnes and other sparkling wines for mimosas, so you can spend more time sipping and less time shopping.

How We Picked These Products

Next to orange juice, bubbly is the most important part of a good mimosa. Typically, the go-to option is Champagne, a labor-intensive, often pricey sparkling wine made only in the Champagne region of northern France. To balance the sugar in O.J., we honed in on dry or semi-dry Champagnes (our preference here at Delish), which are just slightly sweet, and brut Champagnes, which are even less sweet. We also considered other sparkling wines like Prosecco (which hails from Italy) and cava (from Spain), both of which are often utilized as less pricey Champagne alternatives. After all, Champagne can be expensive!

Our list includes options from all of the above categories, from both the low and high-end of the price spectrum. Without further ado, here are the sparkling wines you’ll want on hand the next time you’re pouring mimosas.
