Mimosa

This is one of those multi-purpose drinks.  When I was in the NAVY, we would have this on the morning as the ship was coming into home port.

Funny story about this.  The Stewards on board one of the ships were all woke up at 04:00 to get the breakfast table ready for the Wardroom.  They popped a bottle of champagne to get into the festive mood.  By 07:00, every Steward was passed out in the Wardroom and there was no champagne left.

I rather enjoy this drink on Christmas morning when we are opening gifts and having breakfast.

A Mimosa is a cocktail composed of equal parts champagne and chilled citrus juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified.
