Mimosa

IBA

A staple of Parisian café culture since the 1920s, the Mimosa takes its name from the yellow flowering plant whose color it closely mirrors. The combination of Champagne's dry effervescence with orange juice's natural sugars produces a drink that is simultaneously refreshing and celebratory, with the wine's acidity sharpening the citrus rather than dulling it.
