Mimosas are one of the easiest cocktails to make - just equal parts orange juice and champagne. We thought we'd give this well-loved classic a little Six Barrel love by adding a dash of our Strawberry Ginger Syrup, and the result was ludicrously tasty!  Ingredients Brut champagne Freshly-squeezed orange juice  30ml Strawberry Ginger Syrup Fresh strawberries and mandarins for garnish Method Add 30ml of Strawberry Ginger Syrup to a champagne flute Top up to halfway with orange juice Top up the rest of the glass with champagne Garnish with fresh strawberry and a slice of mandarin
