Love Island seems to have a new go-to cocktail but what's in a Love Island mimosa, exactly? If you've tuned into that latest season, you'll have likely spied the winter Love Island cast sipping on orange-colored cocktails—so how do we mix up our own villa-approved beverage?
After nine seasons, Love Island UK has become pretty synonymous with prosecco, with the flute glasses being among the most popular and recognizable Love Island merch—alongside the monogrammed Love Island water bottles.
That being said, winter Love Island 2023 has seen another tipple take center stage and it looks like the perfect pool-side refreshment.
We first spotted the cocktails during the boy's first meeting with bombshell Samie in episode 14 and then again, when the girls' got acquainted with Casey and Jordan. So, we could very well keep seeing this drink—especially when Casa Amor rolls around—and we want in on the boozy action!
So, how do we make the villa's go-to mimosa ourselves?
What's in the 'Love Island' mimosa?
Thankfully the cocktail itself is very simple—in fact, it only features two ingredients! Mimosas are made from a mix of orange juice and champagne—so if you were wondering if they can drink on Love Island, there's your answer (though they're only allowed two glasses each evening).
A mimosa is effectively a similar premise to Buck's Fizz and is a drink that's traditionally serviced with brunch, hence why the islanders are enjoying them in the mid-morning.
How to make a Love Island mimosa
According to BBC Good Food (opens in new tab), all you need to make your own villa-inspired mimosa is a bottle of chilled champagne (or prosecco) and a carton of orange juice.
Once you've acquired the bubbly and orange juice, simply half-fill your flutes with champagne and then top off the rest of the glass with orange juice—so basically, it's just half champers, half orange and voila!
One bottle of champagne should serve six glasses, making it a great drink to share with friends. And if you want to be extra fancy, you can also add a slice of orange to garnish your glass.
So, if you're planning a Love Island viewing party for Casa Amor—or perhaps the fan-favorite movie night challenge—you now have the perfect themed drink to serve!
