Mimosa is an elegant cocktail created in 1925 in the bar of the famous Hôtel Ritz in Paris. At the time, Paris was one of Europe's most vibrant social centers for artists, writers and aristocrats. The Ritz bar was also a meeting point for these elite circles and the bartenders working there loved to develop new champagne-based cocktails.

The combination of the fresh and vibrant aroma of orange juice and the sparkling structure of champagne resulted in the Mimosa. The cocktail takes its name from the mimosa plant, known for its yellow flowers, because the color of the drink is very similar to these flowers.

“Sometimes the secret to a good start to the day is a little celebration”

Over time, Mimosa has become synonymous with brunch culture. Thanks to its light alcohol content and fresh taste, it has become one of the rare cocktails that can be drunk in the morning or at noon. Today it is often served in hotels, at weekend breakfasts and celebrations.

Thanks to its simplicity and elegance, Mimosa is considered one of the best examples of the idea of "few ingredients, good balance" in the cocktail world.
