Looking for a fresh spin on your next brunch cocktail? Meet the Giulia Mimosa—a delightful fusion of sweet-tart clementine juice, Maison Giulia’s effervescent sparkle, and a subtle floral note from lavender. Topped with a touch of lemon zest, this bright, bubbly drink will elevate any gathering.
Ingredients
- 30 ml clementine juice
- 100 ml Maison Giulia
- Garnish: 1 brin de lavande (sprig of lavender) + a twist of lemon zest
How to Make It
1. Chill Your Glass
Start by chilling a champagne flute or your favorite stemmed glass. This ensures your Giulia Mimosa stays perfectly cool and crisp.
2. Add the Clementine Juice
Pour 30 ml of fresh clementine juice into the chilled glass. Its vibrant sweetness sets the foundation for this refreshing twist on a classic mimosa.
3. Top with Maison Giulia
Slowly add 100 ml of Maison Giulia, allowing its delicate bubbles to blend with the juice. The gentle effervescence beautifully highlights the clementine’s citrusy zing.
4. Garnish
Place a brin de lavande (sprig of lavender) into the glass, and finish with a fine twist of lemon zest. The lavender imparts a floral aroma, while the lemon zest adds an extra pop of citrus on the nose.
5. Stir Gently
Give the mixture a light stir to incorporate all the flavors, being mindful not to disturb the bubbles too much.
Enjoying Your Giulia Mimosa
This bright cocktail is perfect for weekend brunches, outdoor celebrations, or anytime you want to add a touch of effervescence to your day. The sweet-tart clementine juice pairs perfectly with Maison Giulia’s subtle sparkle, and the lavender plus lemon zest garnish elevates the entire experience.
