What is "mimosa"?
Mimosa is a classic brunch cocktail that combines equal parts of orange juice and champagne, creating a refreshing and bubbly drink. The cocktail is believed to have originated in France in the 1920s and is named after the mimosa flower, which has a similar color to the drink. Mimosa is typically served in a tall flute glass, with the orange juice added first and then topped with champagne. The drink is known for its sweet and citrusy flavor, with the champagne adding a crisp and effervescent finish. Mimosa is often served at brunches and special occasions, such as weddings, bridal showers, and baby showers. It is a popular and easy-to-make cocktail that can be customized with various fruit juices, such as grapefruit or cranberry, for added flavor and color.
