Rhubarb mimosa recipe

Made with rhubarb simple syrup instead of juice his rhubarb mimosa could also be considered a rhubarb champagne cocktail.

Champagne cocktails are typically made with a sugar cube soaked with angostura bitters placed in the bottom of the glass. But champagne cocktails, like this rhubarb mimosa recipe, made with simple syrup instead combines more evenly through the glass ensuring every sip is perfect. And preventing a dreaded super sugary bottom of the glass last drink.

Simple syrups also allow for easy flavor upgrades by using different infused syrups. And since they keep for weeks in the refrigerator simple syrups make it easy to make champagne cocktails in simply the time it takes to open a bottle of bubbly.

This champagne cocktail uses a rhubarb syrup to act as the typical bitter component. And it also adds a slightly acidic note reminiscent of a french 75 cocktail but made without the gin. Although you could add an ounce or two of either gin or vodka if you’d like.

Ingredients

• Sparkling wine – dry sparkling wine, cava, prosecco or champagne. I usually prefer to use a more affordable dry sparkling wine, prosecco or cava for champagne cocktails. So this rhubarb mimosa recipe calls for dry sparkling wine. But if champagnes in your budget you can use champagne instead 🙂
• Rhubarb syrup – made with fresh rhubarb, granulated sugar and water. You can also make similar easy mimosa champagne cocktails with ginger syrup, lavender, blueberry, raspberry, mandarin orange, watermelon, blackberry and any other flavor infused syrup you can dream up.

How to serve

Rhubarb mimosas can be served in a coup or in a flute or whichever glassware you prefer for champagne cocktails. Garnish the inside of the glass with a thin slice of rhubarb, add a candied rhubarb ribbon to the glass, or serve as is.

Serving size

The typical serving size for a glass of champagne is 4 ounces, or 125 ml. There are 25 ounces in a 750 ml bottle of champagne. So each bottle of champagne makes 6 rhubarb mimosas.

Because sparkling wines begin to lose their bubble and effervesence as soon as the bottle is opened the recipe is written for 6 servings.

But if you’d prefer a single serving mimosa, or a mimosa recipe for two, the serving size can easily be adjusted in the recipe card below. It’s simply 4 ounces of wine and 1 tablespoon, or ½ ounce, of rhubarb syrup per serving.
