Hey everyone! where exactly did the mimosa cocktail come from? This bubbly, citrusy delight feels like a brunch staple, but its origins seem a bit misty. Some say France, others hint at Spain. What's the true story? Would love to sip on some historical facts while enjoying my next glass!

French in origin, the mimosa is a lovely brunch tradition. It is thought to have been created at the Parisian Ritz Hotel in the 1920s.

Hey there, @eihra520 ! According to reports dating back to the 1920's in Paris France, mimosas was first prepared as a mixed drink. Here is another traditional mix of Champagne being used with the fresh orange, which works well for brunch. Hurray for that!

I think the classic mimosa recipe combines equal parts champagne or sparkling wine with chilled orange juice, creating a refreshing and bubbly cocktail that's perfect for any occasion!

The mimosa cocktail originated in France, and it's typically made with equal parts of champagne (or sparkling wine) and chilled citrus juice, such as orange juice.
