Traditionally served in a champagne flute, the Mimosa offers a vibrant and celebratory touch to any occasion. It is believed to have been invented in the 1920s at the Hôtel Ritz Paris. The cocktail’s name comes from the bright yellow color of the mimosa flower, which resembles the drink’s sunny hue.
