Blood Orange Mimosa is the perfect combination of blood orange and pomegranate seeds, add some tequila and sparkling wine for a flavour party!

It’s the freaking weekend! I’m going to have this Blood Orange Mimosa lined up aaaalllllll weekend long! It’s part of my collaboration with Joey (website) that I posted about yesterday (link here). You remember don’t you? Those Savoury Corn, Jalapeño and Queso Fresco Waffles with Salsa Verde Waffles with Salsa Verde? Yeah, I though so. This drink was mostly all Joey’s. I threw in some commentary on the recipe, but truthfully I was pretty caught up in the waffles (and my kids).

This recipe is easy to massage out and make your own. If it’s too tart add a teaspoon of simple syrup or agave. If you want more pomegranate flavour add pomegranate juice along with the blood orange. Any which way, I’m certain you’ll love this recipe. The flavours are bright and the colour is vibrant, it’s pretty much what brunch cocktail dreams are made of.

Okay, so it's Friday and just about 7:00 pm in my time zone. I am about to head into the kitchen for a glass of wine, but I would much prefer this cocktail. Looks absolutely wonderful!

  Definitely! And I too love delicious excuses like this! I'm hoping to break out this cocktail for Easter weekend ... what's a family gathering without a drink? ;)

Love those blood oranges. They look so exotic! I'm a Prosecco fan from way back . . .

That sounds really, really, good. There is still so much wonderful citrus around right now. My inclination is to turn it all into curds, but cocktails sound like a sensible alternative.

  I appreciate that you find a cocktail "sensible". Curds are a terrific yummy option, but I can attest that a Blood Orange Mimosa will brighten any day. Have a great weekend Teresa!
