Weekends are made for mimosas — champagne/sparkling wine and citrus served up on with a side of cheer. While good ole orange juice is always a great way to brighten your day with a dose of vitamin C, why not branch out for your next round of mimosas with these three extra-ordinary versions on the classic? Try these. They're perfect for summer brunch gatherings with friends, or just the two of you. Cheers!

Purée the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain the watermelon using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Add the lime juice and, if desired, the agave nectar. Mix the watermelon agua fresca with the champagne. Start with roughly equal parts of agua fresca to champagne, then tweak to your taste.
Add two scoops of mango sorbet to a fluted glass. Slowly top with Champagne. Enjoy immediately.
*To make your own sorbet, simply blend mangos with a dash of sweetener of your choice and freeze for at least an hour.
Grapefruit Mimosas for a Crowd
Fill a champagne coupe or flute about 1/2 full with grapefruit juice, then top off with dry sparkling wine and stir lightly. Make a slit lengthwise in a kumquat and slide it on the edge of the glass. Serve (and sip) immediately.
When you need a little more to kick start in your morning, and the pleasantries of bubbles just won't do, we feel you.
