Mimosas are easy cocktails to whip up on a large quantity. Take inspiration from these recipes for your next brunch, family gathering or party with your friends

Planning on hosting your friends or family over for a meal? In search of the perfect accompaniment?  Look no further than the classic mimosa. Made by mixing equal parts sparkling wine and orange juice, this cocktail is something anyone can follow. You can choose to freshly squeeze your oranges for the most vibrant burst of flavour. However, using boxed juice also works, if you plan on incorporating a good-quality champagne or sparkling wine.
