When life gives you oranges, Make a Mimosa – ¡Feliz día nacional de la mimosa!
On May 16, the world will celebrate this delightful and refreshing cocktail that has become a brunch staple. Mimosas are typically served in champagne flutes, and any sort of sparkling wine can be substituted if champagned is not available. In 1925, head bartender Frank Meier created the mimosa at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. The mimosa bloom, a yellowish Australian plant popular with French gardeners, inspired the name of this famous drink.
Although orange juice and champagne are the classic ingredients in a mimosa, there are several versions that use other juices or even fruit purees. This versatile drink can be made to fit any mood, occasion, and of course every brunch!
