The creation of the first Mimosa is credited to the famous Ritz Hotel in Paris, and was originally served in 1925. For a twist on the original cocktail, you can add an ounce of orange liquer to create an intense orange flavor or Amaretto for extra nuttiness. Champagne, it's whats for Breakfast (or, in this case, Brunch!) C'est Magnifique!
