August is a pretty momentous month around our house. In Florida, it means back to school for my boys. (I’m still in a wee bit of denial that I have two high schoolers this year – eek!) It is also my birthday month!! Insert confetti, jazz hands and all manner of fun things … I seriously LOVE birthdays!
I have recently realized that National Prosecco Day also falls in August. Coincidence?! I think not 😉 In light of all the fun August has to offer, I think we should cue the celebration and a round of these pretty pinkish cocktails!
What is a Mimosa?
A classic mimosa is a cocktail that is a blend of citrus juice and sparkling wine. More often than not, mimosas are made with orange juice, which is both delicious and a little expected.
I like to play with different variations of mimosas using pineapple juice, cranberry juice, or today’s recipe with tart and tangy grapefruit juice.
Ingredients
These Ruby Red Grapefruit Mimosas aren’t just any ol’ mimosas. These mimosas have big fizz, big flavor, and big color! BUT, with only 2 ingredients (3 if you count the optional but oh-so-pretty grapefruit garnishes), they are easy to serve by the pitcher or the glass:
- Ruby red grapefruit juice
- Prosecco, champagne, or other sparkling white wine
Because we are mixing the sparkling wine with a pretty flavorful juice you don’t need to worry about the type of champagne or sparkling wine you buy. Get something inexpensive and affordable.
Step by step
- Mix together grapefruit juice and prosecco in a one to one ratio. Done! Too easy!
Serving suggestions
To serve these mimosas, I poured ruby red grapefruit juice in a pitcher and added frozen slices of ruby red grapefruit. The frozen slices keep the juice cold without diluting the sweet, slightly bitter taste.
For this simple but stylish cocktail, garnish glasses with wedges of grapefruit or try a sprig of rosemary, fresh thyme, or mint. Summer is laid back, so don’t panic if you don’t have champagne flutes to serve these in … stemless wine glasses work just as well.
Voila! Summer is served and the living is easy!
I honestly can’t get over the color of these Ruby Red Grapefruit Mimosas. And get a load of those bubbles!
Variations
Feel free to add a splash of vodka, grapefruit liqueur, grand marnier, triple sec, or cranberry juice for a twist on these refreshing, bubbly Ruby Red Grapefruit Mimosas!

Have never had a Mimosa in my life so have no idea what to expect. These look/sound like something would love to try.
My usual go-to drink is usually a Margarita frozen. Been long time since I had one.
Not supposed to drink while taking meds so have curbed my drinking, getting old really isn’t fun.
Would still like to try one of these Mimosa’s however.
Have great week.
Know how you feel about kids in high school. We had 3 teenagers at once, gah.
