The Mimosa is a simple and delightful cocktail made by mixing orange juice and sparkling wine in equal parts.
It combines the sweet, fresh flavor of orange juice with the gentle bubbles and crisp acidity of sparkling wine.
With an alcohol content of around 6–8%, it's very low in strength and perfect for brunches and casual gatherings.
It is believed to have originated in the 1920s at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, named after the golden-hued mimosa flower.
Ideal for celebrating special mornings or enjoying a relaxed, sunny atmosphere.
