How to Easily Make a Mimosa

Celebrate the morning with a sunny mimosa.

Mimosas are a bubbly concoction often served with a fancy brunch. The drink was first called a mimosa in Paris, at the Ritz Hotel, in 1925. It may have originated under another name at a tavern in London, though. One theory is that a bartender took the recipe and simply changed the name. This drink may be served in a flute or a Collins glass over ice.

Things You'll Need

• Orange juice
• Champagne

Instructions

1. Add ice to your Collins glass, if that's the style you're using. You may chill your flutes, if you like.

2. Add chilled orange juice and fill the glass the rest of the way with Champagne. Aim for an equal balance of juice and Champagne.

3. Gently swirl the glass to mix.

Tips & Warnings

• Always drink responsibly.
