Pineapple Upside Down Mimosas Recipe


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

  • 🍍 3 oz pineapple juice – Preferably cold and fresh for vibrant flavor

  • 🥂 3 oz prosecco or champagne – Use dry or semi-dry sparkling wine for balance

  • 🍒 ½ oz grenadine syrup – Adds sweetness, depth, and that iconic red hue

  • 🍰 1 maraschino cherry – For garnish and a pop of nostalgia

  • 🍍 1 small pineapple wedge or ring – Optional garnish for tropical flair

  • 🧊 Optional: crushed ice – If serving in a stemless glass


Instructions

Step 1: Chill Your Ingredients

Make sure your pineapple juice and sparkling wine are well chilled. This enhances the flavor and keeps your drink crisp.

Step 2: Pour the Pineapple Juice

Add about 3 oz of pineapple juice into a champagne flute or stemless wine glass. If you’re using crushed ice, add it now.

Step 3: Add the Sparkling Wine

Slowly pour 3 oz of prosecco or champagne over the pineapple juice. Tilt the glass slightly to preserve the bubbles and avoid overflow.

Step 4: Layer the Grenadine

Very gently pour ½ oz grenadine down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon. It will slowly sink, creating a beautiful layered effect reminiscent of the upside-down cake.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Drop in a maraschino cherry and add a pineapple wedge to the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy the visual and flavorful delight!

Notes

These mimosas are extremely forgiving and flexible. For best results:

  • Use cold ingredients – Warm juice will flatten the bubbles.

  • Avoid stirring after adding grenadine—it ruins the layered look.

  • Choose dry prosecco if you don’t want the drink overly sweet.
