A cocktail made with champagne (or sparkling wine) and orange juice, typically served at brunches.
Named after the mimosa flower, which the drink's appearance supposedly resembles. The flower name comes from Latin 'mimus' (mime), referencing how the mimosa plant's leaves move like a mime's gestures.
The mimosa became iconic for 'brunch culture' in the 20th century—a drink that literally combines Old World champagne with New World orange juice, embodying globalization in a single glass.
