A Moscow Mule Mimosa is a Must

It’s always a good time for a mimosa, right? Which means this Mimosa Mule is perfectly acceptable to drink for any celebratory moment. 

With champagne, orange juice and ginger beer, you’ve got all the flavors of two of your favorite recipes in one. 

It’s easy to drink, easy to make and easy to share with friends and family no matter what time of year. 

As a fan of easy cocktail recipes, there are some recipes that just feel like they should be served and drunk in the morning. 

And a Mimosa Moscow Mule is one of those. 

So if you’re looking for the perfect breakfast cocktail, this is it!

How to Make a Mimosa Mule

 

Ingredients

• 2 oz Orange Juice
• 3 oz ginger beer
• 4 oz champagne

What Kind of Champagne Should I Use?

Use any kind of champagne you like! It doesn’t have to be expensive especially since you will be mixing it with other flavors. 

But it should be drinkable on its own. If it isn’t you should never buy that brand again. 

And you can swap out the champagne and use prosecco, cava, sparkling wine, etc. 

I usually always have a can of sparkling wine (I love Underwood cans from Union Wine Company) on hand which is awesome for making just a few of these cocktails. 

Canned wine is my secret weapon for topping drinks or making a quick float so you don’t end up wasting a whole bottle. 

Get Your Liquor Delivered

I barely leave my house for groceries any more thanks to Amazon Fresh and 2 Hour Deliver from Whole Foods.

But when I need cocktail ingredients, I always use Drizly!

They have beer, wine, and liquor, plus some mixers and deliver in about an hour!

Drizly is so perfect during the extra busy times of year! 

Can You Use Fresh Orange Juice?

Yes! That would be extra delicious. But typically it’s easier to use store-bought. Especially if you are making these for a crowd. 

If you want to make fresh orange juice it will add extra flavor to the drink and show your guests or whoever you are making them for that you are awesome. 

Can You Add Vodka? 

Unlike a traditional Moscow Mule which has vodka, I decided to skip it in this recipe and just stick with some bubbles. 

My family is full of lightweights, especially for breakfast drinking. 

One champagne cocktail and I’ll need a nap. But if you like to rage, then, by all means, add an ounce of vodka. 

Just don’t say I didn’t warn you if you a) fall asleep in your Breakfast Skillet or b) end up with a lampshade on your head. 

Directions

1. Add ice to a copper Moscow Mule mug.
2. Add orange juice and ginger beer.
3. Top with champagne.

Everyone has a certain way that they like their mimosas. I like mine with just a splash of orange juice.

The orange juice flavor in this cocktail is to my liking, on the subtle side, but if you like to really taste the orange juice just add more. 

The addition of ginger beer changes the flavor of the champagne just enough to make it feel different.

But you still get all that bubbly goodness. 

Just like you can change up the flavors of a mimosa, you can easily do the same here.

And if you’ve ever had my Vodka Sunrise, you know that cherry and orange juice goes really well together.
