3-Ingredient Mimosa Float
Raise your glass to toast this Mimosa Ice Cream Float if you are tired of the same dull drink! I’ve created a fun champagne recipe that mimics my favorite morning cocktail combined with a spin on a classic ice cream float.
Making this delicious drink is as easy as pouring champagne over orange juice concentrate, adding scoops of sorbet, and serving it immediately with a spoon or waiting a minute for the sorbet to melt and then sipping a spiked sparkling slushie. So easy it’s almost embarrassing!

Ingredients
- Brut Champagne (I used Korbel brand)
- Orange juice concentrate
- Orange sorbet
- Wedge of navel orange for garnish
Substitutions and Additions
- Make It A Mocktail: To make a non-alcoholic Mimosa Float, simply replace the champagne with sparkling cider, alcohol-free champagne, or sparkling juice for a fun mocktail version that the kids will enjoy.
- Creamy Confection: For a creamier cocktail, swap out the sorbet for a scoop of ice cream. You can use vanilla ice cream or orange ice cream too!
- Customize Your Cocktail: While mimosas are classically citrus-based, you can use any of your favorite flavors of sorbet and sparkling beverages to create your own signature sip. Try pink champagne and raspberry or strawberry sorbet for Valentine’s Day, or lemon sorbet with clear champagne for a little pucker.
Recommended Tools
- 2 inch ice cream scoop
- Measuring tools

How to Make the Mimosa Ice Cream Floats
A bottle of bubbly, sorbet, and orange juice concentrate is all you need to create this easy-to-make fruity cocktail.
- Add orange juice concentrate to the bottom of each glass.
- Pour Champagne over the top of the orange juice concentrate.
Pro-Tip: You may need to stir it to combine. Allow the champagne bubbles to settle. - Carefully add orange sorbet scoops.
Pro Tip: Make sure that you only fill the glass ½-¾ full with the champagne before adding the orange sorbet. It is important that you allow the bubbles to settle before adding the sorbet so that you do not overflow your glass. If it bubbles up after the first scoop, let the bubbles calm down before placing the second scoop in the glass. - Garnish with the orange wedge, serve, and sip. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best mimosa Float
- These Mimosa floats should be served immediately after being assembled.
- You can get at least 6 mimosa floats from a standard 750ml bottle of Brut Champagne and a pint of orange sorbet. Just remember that different sized glasses will yield different quantities.
- If you use a traditional champagne flute you may need to use a smaller sized (1 inch) ice cream scoop to fit the glass. This cocktail can be tailored to your personal glass preference.
