An iconic brunch cocktail the mimosa is a simple drink to make. Both casual and festive, it’s perfect for any occasion, from holidays to Mothers day and Baby showers to a weekend brunch. Named after the yellow mimosa flower, with one sip of this bubbly, fruity cocktail, you’ll realize why it’s been a favourite day-drinking choice since the 1920s.
To make a classic mimosa, you’ll need well-chilled orange juice and sparkling wine. For brunch create a sweet mimosa pour the two main ingredients equally. Choose Champagne or a nice prosecco to make a semi-dry mimosa which has more sparkling wine and less juice. Use simple syrup to add another dimension. Botanical flavours marries the sweet-tart juice and dry wine beautifully. It’s a wonderful way to use up leftover champagne, and it’s so easy to pour when you’re entertaining.
