There’s No Brunch Without Mimosa

Brunch holds a place in hearts as a delightful weekend tradition that merges the best of breakfast and lunch, embodying a spirit of relaxation and indulgence. However, let’s face it – what truly sets this late morning meal apart is, ‘The Iconic Mimosa’.

A mimosa is more than just a drink; it’s a symbol of sophistication and joie de vivre. The lively blend of chilled champagne or sparkling wine with the sweetness of squeezed orange juice creates a brunch experience like no other.

Ingredients

• 1 part chilled champagne or sparkling wine

• 1 part chilled orange juice

• Optional: orange slices or twists for garnish

Directions

• Pour the orange juice into a champagne flute or wine glass, filling about 1/3 to 1/2 of the glass.
