Description:
The Mimosa is a light sparkling cocktail usually associated with hotel and brunch culture of the 20th century. It is close to the Bucks Fizz, but is commonly served with equal parts juice and sparkling wine. The idea of the drink is freshness and simplicity. The acidity of the orange juice and the dryness of the sparkling wine matter more than sweetness.
