I first encountered this delightful drink when I visited New Orleans for the first time in 1980. A year or so later it was served at a champagne brunch at the grand opening of the radio/tv station where my husband worked. This refreshing drink can be habit forming! Photo by lazyme

Steps:
- 1. Chill 4 champagne glasses in the freezer until frosty.
- 2. Pour 2 ounces of orange juice into each glass. Fill almost full with champagne and then top off each glass with a splash of Triple Sec.
- 3. Garnish with orange slices and serve while cold.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh fruit juice and sparkling wine will make your mimosa taste its best.
- Choose a good-quality sparkling wine. A dry sparkling wine, such as Champagne or Prosecco, will work best.
- Chill your ingredients before using. This will help your mimosa stay cold and refreshing.
- Use a champagne flute or coupe glass. This will help the mimosa maintain its bubbles.
- Garnish your mimosa with a twist of lemon or orange peel. This will add a pop of flavor and color.
Conclusion:
The mimosa is a classic brunch cocktail that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its refreshing taste and beautiful appearance, it's the perfect drink to enjoy with friends and family. Whether you're hosting a brunch party or just looking for a special treat, the mimosa is a great choice.
