Mimosa cocktail introduction + editor's explanation 🍊🍾✨

Mimosa, also known as "Mimosa" in Chinese, is a popular aperitif champagne cocktail made with a 1:1 ratio of champagne (or other high-quality sparkling wine) and fresh orange juice. This cocktail has a bright color, a refreshing fruity aroma, and a low alcohol content, making it a refreshing drink perfect for brunches, parties, and girls' get-togethers. It's a must-have for summer or holiday celebrations! 🥂

What is Mimosa?

Mimosa originated at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, France, around 1920. Designed to capture the romantic spirit of the time, its name derives from its refreshing and soft flavor, resembling a mimosa flower. It's simple to make, requiring no ingredients, and combines the delicate bubbles of champagne with the sweetness of orange juice for a light, balanced sweet-tart taste. It's perfect for those who enjoy a drink without a strong flavor. 🍊✨

Main ingredients and production ratio

• Champagne or sparkling wine (Prosecco is acceptable): about 75ml

• Fresh orange juice: about 75ml

• Garnish: Orange slice or mint leaves

Simple production steps

1. First prepare a chilled champagne glass (Flute glass).

2. Pour in fresh orange juice first.

3. Pour in the chilled champagne slowly to prevent the bubbles from dissipating too quickly.

4. Stir gently until combined.

5. Finally, you can add a slice of orange or mint leaves as decoration to enhance the visual and aroma.

Sharing from the editor's perspective

Mimosa's charm is simple and classic. The delicate bubbles from the champagne enhance the sweetness of the lemon juice. The first sip is clean and refreshing, and the alcohol content is not high. One sip will make you feel uplifted. I love to drink Mimosa at brunch, with light meals or dessert. It is an appetizing drink without being too tiring, adding a sunny touch to the whole weekend.

A cold Mimosa is perfect for Hong Kong's humid and muggy weather. You can even use fresh local orange juice for a more natural fruity flavor and sweeter taste. For a more unique experience, try adding different juices like grapefruit or passion fruit to create your own unique summer Mimosa!

A Mimosa isn't just a cocktail; it represents a relaxed, relaxed pace of life. It's a refreshing drink perfect for dates with friends and holiday celebrations. Make one yourself at your next party and enjoy the sweet bubbles of summer! 🍾🍊💖
