Ingredients

• Sparkling Wine: choose Champagne or Prosecco for an elegant fizz and freshness look for bottles that say brut for a drier less sweet finish
• Malibu Coconut Rum: brings a sweet tropical coconut flavor that is iconic for this drink pick a bottle with clear fresh labels and shake lightly to ensure smooth mixing
• White Claw Pineapple Hard Seltzer: adds a fruity lightness that keeps the mimosa refreshing and lively always chill well before using and check the can is intact with no dents
• Blue Curaçao: makes the signature ocean blue color with hints of citrus and a bit of sweetness opt for a liqueur that is vibrantly blue and clear for the best presentation
• Sugar Syrup or Corn Syrup: helps the coconut flakes stick perfectly to the rim aim for a smooth consistency and a clear color
• Shredded Coconut for rim garnish: gives a snowy edge and extra texture use unsweetened if you prefer a more subtle flavor and make sure the shreds are fresh and soft
