Storage and Reheating Tips
- Since these are best served fresh, mix the drinks right before serving.
- Keep the peach nectar and champagne chilled separately until ready to assemble.
- Leftover peach nectar can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, while opened champagne should be resealed and consumed within 1-2 days.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
It’s best to mix them fresh to maintain the fizz of the champagne. Pre-chill your ingredients to save time.
What kind of champagne works best?
A dry (brut) champagne, prosecco, or cava is ideal to balance the sweetness of the peach nectar.
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes! Blend frozen peaches with a little water or juice to create a peach purée, then strain if needed.
How do I make these sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter mimosa, use a sweeter sparkling wine or add a teaspoon of simple syrup to the glass.
