Mimosa

A Mimosa is a cocktail composed of three parts champagne and two parts thoroughly chilled orange juice , traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch . Heart garnish can be cut from orange peel and sliced on edge to slip over the glass.

Grenadine and a cherry can be added for extra color

The Mimosa cocktail was reportedly invented at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, France circa 1925. Orangina or a tablespoon of Grand Marnier (technically a Grand Mimosa ) are sometimes added. A similar (and often identical) British cocktail is called a bucks fizz .

In a variation of this cocktail, called Hibiscus , cranberry juice replaces orange juice. In another variation, called a Lilosa , pink grapefruit juice replaces orange juice.
