About the Mimosa

The Mimosa is a refreshing sour cocktail made with equal parts Prosecco and orange juice. It has a light, effervescent character with a citrusy sweetness, making it perfect for brunch or festive occasions.

History

The cocktail is named after the mimosa flower. Its origin is unclear, though it may be related to Buck's Fizz from 1921. The International Bartenders Association considers them the same drink.
