Ingredients
Sparkling wine: Prosecco is a great, wallet-friendly choice; use Champagne for a more luxurious version.
Orange juice: Fresh or bottled orange juice works—use what you prefer.
Sugar: A small amount of granulated sugar brightens and balances the frozen mixture. If your orange juice is very sweet, taste the mix before adding sugar; frozen flavors tend to be a touch muted.
How to make a Mimosa slushy
See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and full instructions.
Measure the sparkling wine into a container and gently stir to reduce bubbles. Add the orange juice and the sugar, then whisk or briefly blend to combine. Reserve ½ to ¾ cup of the mixture and chill it in the fridge—this reserved liquid will be used later to loosen the frozen slush.
Without a Ninja Creami
Pour the mixture into ice-cube trays and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen cubes to a blender and add the reserved liquid, or blend everything in a tall jug using an immersion blender. Blend until you reach a slushy consistency.
Regular Ninja Creami
Pour the combined mix into the Ninja pint up to the Max Fill line and freeze flat for 24 hours. Process using the Sorbet setting, then add the reserved liquid and mix until you achieve a slushy texture. If it’s too firm, let it sit a few minutes at room temperature and re-spin or stir to loosen.
Deluxe Ninja Creami
Fill the Ninja pint to the Drinkable Freeze Fill line and freeze for 24 hours. After freezing, add the reserved liquid to the Drinkable Pour-In line, then process on Full and Slushi. Re-spin if you prefer a thinner, more drinkable slushy.
How to serve
Spoon the Mimosa slushy into glasses, add a straw or spoon, and garnish with an orange slice if you like. Serve immediately for the best frosty texture—this is a festive and refreshing drink for brunch or any celebration.
How to store
Once blended, the slushy is best served immediately as it will melt. You can store the frozen base (before blending) in the freezer for up to a month. Keep the reserved liquid in the fridge and use within three days.
Tips for success and frequently asked questions
Can I use a different juice?
Yes—you can experiment, though I haven’t tested every variation. Grapefruit juice (especially ruby or red) would be bright and attractive. Note that flavor and sweetness will change, so adjust sugar as needed.
Can I make slushies with other fruits?
Absolutely. Try a Bellini slushy with peach puree or a Rossini with strawberries for fruit-forward variations.

- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
Deluxe Ninja Creami
- 1 1/3 cups (335 ml) sparkling wine
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Ensure you have freezer space so your pint or trays can freeze flat.

- Add the orange juice and sugar, then mix until combined.
- Reserve ½ cup (regular) to ¾ cup (Deluxe) of the mixture, cover and chill in the fridge.
- Without a Ninja Creami: freeze the remaining mixture in ice trays until solid. Blend the frozen cubes with the reserved liquid until slushy.
