This frozen mimosa slushy is a refreshing twist on the classic cocktail — perfect for brunch, a casual get-together or a New Year’s Eve celebration.
I love making slushies in my Ninja CREAMi: they’re frosty, fun and delicious any time of year. If you don’t own a Ninja CREAMi, don’t worry — below I explain how to make this frozen mimosa using the same ingredients with alternative methods.

Ingredients
Sparkling wine: Prosecco works well and keeps costs down; use Champagne for something more celebratory.
Orange juice: Fresh or bottled both work — use whichever you prefer.
Sugar: A little granulated sugar brightens the flavor. If your orange juice is very sweet, you can skip the sugar — taste the mix before freezing, remembering flavors will mellow when frozen.
How to make a mimosa slushy
See the recipe card at the end for exact measurements and timing.
Measure the sparkling wine and stir to release some of the bubbles. Add the orange juice and sugar, then stir or blend until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is even.
Reserve ½ to ¾ cup of the mixed liquid and chill it in the fridge — you’ll use this later to loosen the slush.
Without a Ninja CREAMi
Pour the remaining mix into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. When frozen, blend the cubes with the reserved chilled liquid using a high-speed blender or an immersion blender in a tall jug until you reach a slushy consistency.
Using a regular Ninja CREAMi
Pour the mixture into the Ninja pint up to the Max Fill line and freeze flat for 24 hours. Process on the “sorbet” setting, then add the reserved liquid and mix until you achieve a slushy texture. If it’s too firm, let it sit a few minutes to soften and mix again.
Using a Deluxe Ninja CREAMi
Pour the mix into the Ninja pint up to the Drinkable Freeze Fill line and freeze for 24 hours. After freezing, add the reserved liquid to the Drinkable Pour In line, then use the Full + Slushi settings. Respin or let the pint sit briefly if you prefer a looser slush.
How to serve
Spoon the slushy into glasses, add a straw or spoon, garnish with an orange slice if you like, and serve immediately. It’s especially lovely for warm-weather brunches and festive occasions.
How to store
The blended slushy is best served immediately — it will melt quickly. You can store the frozen mixture (before blending) for up to one month in the freezer. Keep the reserved chilled liquid in the refrigerator and use it within three days.
Tips for success and frequently asked questions
Can I use a different juice?
Yes — while this recipe is written for orange juice, other citrus juices such as blood orange or ruby grapefruit would be delicious. I haven’t tested every variation, so adjust sugar to taste.
Can I make fruit variations?
Absolutely. For example, try a Bellini slushy with peach puree or a Rossini with pureed strawberries.
