It's almost the weekend! I can taste it, can you? We are headed to Louisiana for the weekend to hang with friends and family and feast ourselves on my father-in-law's famous crawfish. To say I'm excited about his crawfish would be an understatement...I literally eat more than every grown man at the table! There are a few things in this life that I will change my plans for and one of those is a crawfish boil...the other happens to be champagne. Just mention the word and I am there! One of my favorite activities on the weekend is brunch and I think half of that is the fact that I can drink mimosas before noon and it is 100% acceptable. And what's even better than that is a mimosa turned into a popsicle! My mimosa pops swimming in even more champagne are the perfect addition to your at-home brunch plans this weekend!
I first had a taste of a mimosa popsicle in Round Top, Texas a few years ago. It was about 100 degrees and that popsicle was one of the best things I've ever tasted. I don't know why I have waited so long to make my own at home, but I finally got smart and made my own version.
You, of course can eat these pops on their own, but my favorite thing to do is add them to a glass of champagne for a double whammy delicious cocktail. These would be completely adorable for any shower, brunch party, and of course are great to have in your freezer when you just need a little treat. Whatever the occasion, you definitely need to make these mimosa popsicles soon!
Ingredients:
2 Cups of Orange Juice
1 Cup of Dry Champagne or Prosecco
Directions:
Mix together orange juice and champagne and then pour into popsicle molds.
Let the popsicles freeze for 45 minutes to an hour until the popsicles begin to freeze slightly.
Place popsicle sticks inside at this point so that they will stand up. (if you are using the molds that have handles already, you can put them on immediately.)
Let freeze overnight and serve whenever the mood hits in a glass of chilled champagne.
Cheers to the weekend friends! I hope it is filled with lots of champagne and love! Xo
