Summary
While a mimosa is a favorite drink during summer brunches, this classic drink deserves a day of its own.

The mimosa cocktail is named after the yellow mimosa plant, Acacia dealbata.

Mixing sparkling wine and orange juice is not a new idea– Spain has been drinking this combination for centuries. Sometimes Spaniards would make mimosas with apple juice or grape juice instead.

The Buck’s Fizz isn’t too different from a mimosa… the main difference is that it uses twice as much champagne as orange juice, whereas a classic mimosa is equal parts of alcohol and orange juice.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle champagne or prosecco, chilled
  • 1l freshly squeezed orange juice , chilled

TIP: Orange juice from a carton works too, but a freshly squeezed orange will taste fresher.

Method

  • Half-fill each of the six glasses with champagne.
  • Carefully pour in the orange juice until the glass is full.
  • Leave in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Serve with chopped fruit, fruit puree, or serve as it is.
