- 3-4 cups chilled orange juice (or substitute fruit juice)

Liqueur Variation with Grenadine for a Mimosa Sunrise
- Start with the orange juice. Fill glass half full.
- Top off with your favorite sparkling wine.
- Add about ½ teaspoon grenadine down the edge of the glass so that it will tend to sink to the bottom. Add a garnish if you like.
Notes
Some of the heavier colored liquers will float down through the orange juice some are colorless (Cointreau).
