Mimosa Sangria Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients that make up this brunch sangria recipe. For the full recipe including all measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Champagne: Adds a bubbly, festive element to the mimosa sangria, making it light and refreshing. The carbonation also helps to balance the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Citrus vodka: A flavored vodka infused with the essence of citrus fruits like lemon, lime, or orange. I like to use a citron vodka.
- Lemonade: Adds sweetness and a tangy lemon flavor to the sangria. Make lemonade from scratch for the best flavor or use store-bought.
- Orange juice: A key ingredient in any mimosa. In this sangria, it provides a rich, sweet, and tangy base that complements the other citrus elements.
- Lemons and an orange: For garnish, they make the sangria look attractive and also infuse the drink with additional fresh citrus flavors as they sit in the mixture.
Pro Tip!
Make sure your champagne is fresh and chilled (along with your lemonade and orange juice) to have cold sangria without having to dilute it with ice.
How to Make Sangria
What’s the easiest way to serve a crowd? Make a pitcher! Sangria is simple to mix up and easy to customize. For the full recipe including all measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Add ice cold champagne to a large pitcher.
- Add in citrus vodka, lemonade, and orange juice.

How to Serve
Serve your sangria in tumblers, stemless wine glasses, or coupe glasses. For an extra touch, garnish each glass with an orange or lemon slice.
A Note on Making Sangria Ahead
Typically sangria sits overnight to let all the flavors combine. In this recipe, we are serving it right away so that you can enjoy that bubbly champagne.
If you wanted to make it more like the classic, you could combine the juice, vodka, and lemon and orange slices overnight and then add in the champagne right at the last minute.
