While the origins of mimosa are a little hazy, it is without a doubt the archetypal brunch cocktail, consisting of equal parts orange juice and champagne or any form of sparkling wine. So what is the best sparkling wine or champagne to use for mimosas? When it comes to making this brunch classic at home, finding a good bottle of bubbly is still essential.

We've gathered up a few of our favorite sparkling alternatives for your next shot at DIY mimosas.
