FAQs
Can I use sparkling wine in the Hawaiian Sunset Mimosa?
Yes, you can use any type of sparkling wine you like. Prosecco or cava are popular choices that are often more affordable than champagne.
Can I make Hawaiian Mimosas ahead of time?
I would suggest not making this drink ahead of time as the layers can combine over time and it won’t be bubbly when time to serve.

Yes, you can add a full bottle of champagne, 2 cups pineapple juice and 1/4 cup grenadine. Layer each ingredient; grenadine, champagne, pineapple juice and serve.
