The Mimosa is a refreshingly bubbly, charming drink considered the queen of classic cocktails. It’s not a traditional glass of sparkling wine, but rather half sparkling wine and half fresh, freshly squeezed orange juice. <\/h2>\n\n

The Mimosa has a fascinating history. It originated in 1920s London at Buck’s Club. The club’s bartenders poured a bit of orange juice into sparkling wine. Why? Because it would have been quite tasteless and rather uncivilized to enjoy alcohol before lunchtime. In the United States, the Mimosa rose to popularity thanks to Alfred Hitchcock, who was photographed in London enjoying a Mimosa drink. <\/p>\n\n

It works as a welcome toast at celebrations, a mood-setter at brunch, or a leisurely drink.<\/p>\n\n

Mimosa ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

0.5 dl freshly squeezed orange juice<\/p>\n\n

0.5 dl sparkling wine<\/p>\n\n

Pour the orange juice first into beautiful champagne glasses, then add the sparkling wine.<\/p>\n\n

You can choose the sparkling wine for your Mimosa from many wonderful options. Compare Mimosas made with the sparkling wines below, for example, and find your favorite! <\/p>\n\n
