The Proper Cocktail

Beer and Wine Cocktails

Cream based cocktails are truely reserved as dessert style cocktails.  Cream is an appetite killer and a palite closer.  However, these cocktails are not only rich in texture and taste but also very delicious.  

Mimosa

The Mimosa is believed to have been invented at the Hôtel Ritz Paris by Frank Meier, in 1925. It is believed to be named after the common name for the yellow flowers of Acacia dealbata, in Europe.

 

A Mimosa is a cocktail composed of one part champagne (or other sparkling wine) and one part chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified (e.g. a grapefruit juice mimosa). It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch or to guests at weddings.
