Excellent. I brought all the ingredients to a brunch today and acted as "bartender". I used extra dry champagne, normal ol' orange juice, and a homemade grapefruit liqueur I had lying around (put de-pithed grapefruit peels in 1 1/2 cups grapefruit juice and a fifth of vodka in a ball jar for 1 month, then strained and aged another two months). They looked beautiful, tasted great (not too sweet because of the dry champagne), and it was a great way to use the liqueur!

I used Grand Marnier and what an amazing addition that is! It's a much more elegant mimosa than the typcial OJ and Champagne combo. Wonderful!

I love mimosas, but this was even better. We simplified the recipe by not measuring the Triple Sec (we just splashed a little in each glass), using regular old orange juice, and skipping the orange zest, and the recipe was still fantastic. I will make this again and again. Thanks for posting.
