I first encountered this delightful drink when I visited New Orleans for the first time in 1980. A year or so later it was served at a champagne brunch at the grand opening of the radio/tv station where my husband worked. This refreshing drink can be habit forming! Photo by lazyme

Steps:
- 1. Chill 4 champagne glasses in the freezer until frosty.
- 2. Pour 2 ounces of orange juice into each glass. Fill almost full with champagne and then top off each glass with a splash of Triple Sec.
- 3. Garnish with orange slices and serve while cold.
Tips:
- Choose the right champagne: Opt for a brut or extra brut champagne for a classic mimosa. These champagnes have a lower sugar content, which will allow the orange juice to shine through.
- Use fresh orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice will give your mimosa the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use a high-quality store-bought orange juice.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling the champagne and orange juice before making your mimosa will help to create a refreshing and bubbly drink.
- Garnish with orange slices or twists: Adding a garnish of orange slices or twists will add a festive touch to your mimosa.
Conclusion:
A classic mimosa is a simple but elegant cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a refreshing and bubbly drink that will impress your guests. Whether you're hosting a brunch, celebrating a special event, or simply enjoying a relaxing weekend morning, a classic mimosa is the perfect choice.
