The Best Champagne for Mimosas in 2022

Ready for some good news to start the new year? You don’t need a top-shelf bottle of Champagne to craft an awesome mimosa this 2022. All you need to do is grab some wallet-friendly Champagne or sparkling wine in the market. If you’re excited to welcome 2022 with open arms (or thrilled to put 2020 behind you), what better way than toasting the year with a mimosa? But first, you have to consider your sparkler of choice, much like a chef considers the wine she will use to cook meals. Speaking of which, you may check out our list of the most popular wines to buy.

Sure, you could drink orange juice on its own. But if you want to take your drinking experience to the next level, you can purchase a finely crafted Prosecco to greet the citrus flavor with some pleasant bubbly texture. An actual bottle of Champagne is a great choice too, imbuing it with the faintest of orange juice so as not to mask the wine’s inherent flavor.  To greet a new year in the most festive and tasty way possible, we’ve rounded up the best Champagnes for mimosas across every price point.

The result is an incredibly round Champagne, with a creamy texture that doesn’t want to let go and an aroma that will make you crave for more.
