Description
The Low Carb Tropical Mimosa is a delightful beverage that perfectly captures the essence of summer, making it an ideal choice for brunch or any sunny afternoon gathering. This refreshing drink, invented by a low-carbing friend, combines the vibrant flavors of tropical fruits with the bubbly goodness of sparkling wine, creating a drink that’s as enjoyable as it is easy to prepare. With a delicious balance of flavors and a lower carbohydrate content, this mimosa is sure to please anyone looking for a lighter twist on a classic favorite. While it’s a seasonal indulgence that I personally crave during the warmer months, you can adjust the proportions to suit your personal taste. For this recipe, I recommend using a budget-friendly sparkling wine like Andre Extra Dry, which offers a great flavor without breaking the bank.

Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a large glass or champagne flute, pour 4 ounces of sparkling wine and 4 ounces of your chosen sugar-free tropical juice. The tropical juice is key to achieving that refreshing flavor profile, so feel free to experiment with different types of juice that fit within your low-carb lifestyle.
-
Mix Gently: Using a stirring stick or spoon, gently mix the two ingredients together. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as you want to maintain the fizziness of the sparkling wine.
-
Adjust to Taste: Taste your mimosa and adjust the proportions as necessary. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a little more tropical juice, or if you enjoy a more pronounced wine flavor, decrease the juice slightly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once you have the perfect blend, enjoy your Low Carb Tropical Mimosa chilled, perhaps with a slice of lime or a fresh berry as a garnish for an extra touch of elegance.
