Some may argue that the dilution of champagne with orange juice is a dreadful waste however I think there are some occasions that require a Mimosa. I always feel that I have drank something good for my health when I have a Mimosa. This pretty orange 1960s dress looks ideal to be wearing and of course sitting on this French balcony or under the Mimosa Tree would be the ideal place to enjoy. On another note we received in store today the Alex Perry couture dress that Megan Gale wore to the 2007 Logie Awards (the Aussie equivalent of the BAFTAs or Emmy's for those of you for overseas!). It is a stunning dress, visit http://www.closetmelbourne.blogspot.com/ to see more. Happy Friday!Mimosa
Champagne
Orange Juice
Fill a champagne flute half full with champagne and top with icy cold freshly squeezed orange juice. Enjoy!
And guess what. The mimosa is now in full flower. Not that I would ever polute Champagne!
ReplyDeleteBisou, Cro.
Mixing champagne with orange juice is a bit like going to the trouble of crystalising little mimosa blossoms in sugar, as eaten by me when a child - they are supposed to be a cake decoration, but I used to eat them from the box.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any pictres of them in bloom Cro? I know it is completely ridiculous to dilute champagne with orange but there is an occasion about once evey year I can stomach doing it. Did the sugared mimosa make you sick Tom?!
ReplyDeleteNo, Maiden, they were very delicate tasting little things, and my mother wouldn't let me eat the lot - too expensive!
ReplyDeleteSadly Maiden, there are no trees nearby, but the shops and markets are full of beautiful bunches.
ReplyDeleteoh there is such a thing as a mimosa tree?! well well i love that little discovery. i love a good mimosa with sunday brunch. yum.
ReplyDeletelovely blog you have here i will have to follow
i know it as a bucks fizz, try saying it drunk. and to me bucks fizz was also that awful 80's pop group that were eurovision song contest winners, not that thats any claim..
ReplyDeleteI love a Mimosa when camping at about 10am in the morning, a great brunch drink xxx
ReplyDeleteSacrilege. 'Overhere' dares berate the group Bucks Fizz; they were in fact one of the finest, most daring, perfectly honed..... Damn I've just been sick all over my record collection.
