Sherbet Mimosa Recipe

This sherbet mimosa recipe was one of the first recipes that went viral on FB and Pinterest with a whopping 200k shares! These are hands-down the most creative, customizable, and ridiculously easy drink. You can pretty much make these Sherbet Mimosas in any color or flavor. I mix and match with different sherbet flavors like blood orange, raspberry, and lemon or even can make your own sorbet like Pomegranate Sorbet.

How to Store

Mimosas are best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator but will lose their carbonation and fizz.

To plan ahead, just scoop out the sorbet/sherbet and freeze them in a tray. When ready, pop them in a glass and fill with champagne.

These are a great addition to brunch served with my mini quiches. Add a ham and cheese casserole and you have a hearty enough breakfast to have another mimosa! Enjoy!

First of all they’re called Sorbet. Read your labels. Secondly…. YUM. A springtime delight

If you want an alternative to lemon/lime soda, ginger ale works also and tastes great!
