I don't know about the rest of you, but I need a break from all this "Holiday Celebrating"! Back to reality and back to the gym. For the past few months, I've been posting drink recipes on my Wednesday Weekend Warm Up series that contain more calories than I usually desire consuming. I'm heading to Sunday Brunch this weekend with the girls and I'm going prepared. Try this recipe that cuts the calories, but not the taste (and now you can use up some of that bubbly you didn't drink last week!).
Mimosa Lite {120 calories}
Ingredients
- 2 oz Minute Maid Light Orange Tangerine Juice
- 4 oz champagne
- 1-2 oz of fresh orange juice
Directions
Add several ice cubes to a tall glass. Squeeze the juice of the orange into the glass. Pour in orange tangerine juice, followed by champagne. Stir. Garnish with fresh orange rinds, curled.

Love mimosas, I need to have Sunday brunch soon :)
thanks for the low cal drink. i don't believe in cutting out alcohol to save calories, i just find ways to work around it. :)
p.s. new profile pic? very cute!
Sounds delicious!! And yes I am in desperate need of cutting calories and gym trips! Can't even blame it on the holidays!!! Rough year led to a 15 pound weight gain!?!! But that's ok- I'm motivated to shed it!
yummy!
I love how you can just add OJ to champagne and it becomes a breakfast drink!!
Sounds good. I love mimosas!
I love Mimosas! Anything with Champagne, actually! Although, I rarely have leftovers. Unfortunately! Hope you're having a great week!
