An old classic, You may think of it as simply orange juice and champagne, but there is a little more to it than that.

Most often served as a brunch cocktail, Mimosa works so well in that capacity since it’s low on alcohol and high on vitamin C.

However, Mimosa isn’t just a brunch drink. It makes for a nice aperitif, too. You can serve these before a dinner party starts because they’re light enough on the alcohol not to get anyone tipsy on an empty stomach.
