Mimosas are a staple for any brunch or day drinking activity, but that doesn’t mean you can’t mix it up and ditch the orange juice once in awhile. Champagne cocktails are an underrated drink category, which is a shame since they usually involve refreshing fruit juices and are incredibly simple to make.

While day drinking options can range from sipping beers to taking shots, champagne provides a happy medium that allows you to feel socially appropriate despite consuming alcohol in broad daylight.
