Sherbet Mimosa Recipe
This sherbet mimosa recipe was one of the first recipes that went viral on FB and Pinterest with a whopping 200k shares! These are hands-down the most creative, customizable, and ridiculously easy drink. You can pretty much make these Sherbet Mimosas in any color or flavor. I mix and match with different sherbet flavors like blood orange, raspberry, and lemon or even can make your own sorbet like Pomegranate Sorbet .

How to Store
Mimosas are best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator but will lose their carbonation and fizz.
To plan ahead, just scoop out the sorbet/sherbet and freeze them in a tray. When ready, pop them in a glass and fill with champagne.
Serving Suggestions
These are a great addition to brunch served with my mini quiches . Add a ham and cheese casserole and you have a hearty enough breakfast to have another mimosa! Enjoy!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
