Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am. We’ve been busy bees in our household, and are ready for a relaxing weekend full of home-things and weekend breakfast! Don’t let your weekend breakfast or brunch fall short. Blood oranges are in season, and so are mimosas (I mean, mimosas are always in season, right!?). Blood oranges lend a gorgeous ruby color to the bubbly brunch drink, and are so gorgeous. Whip up these Blood Orange Mimosas in a snap. You won’t be disappointed!

Blood Oranges

Blood oranges are in season from about January to April. The Tarocco blood oranges are favored in Italy, and are generally sweeter than most oranges. I have a Tarocco on the right side of the plate in the photo below. The gorgeous, deep garnet orange slice is a Moro blood orange. Moro’s add a stunning ruby color, and have a hint of raspberry flavor to them.

Blood Orange Mimosas

These ruby beauties are so easy to make. Purchase roughly 10 fresh blood oranges to accompany a full 750 ml bottle of prosecco or champagne. Add vodka if you’re want an extra alcohol punch in your mimosas. My favorite budget-friendly prosecco is Riondo Prosecco. We discovered it at Central Market, and have loved it ever since.

Plates and Glasses!

My wonderful SIL got me the gorgeous flower-shaped plate for Christmas. It’s a handmade treasure that came from Etsy. Find something similar here or here.

Snag a set of gorgeous stemless champagne flutes here, or a pair of stemmed ones (that I have at home) here. I opted for a wide stemless wine glass, because I really wanted full orange slices in my glass. And frankly, they won’t fit in a small champagne flute.
