National Mimosa Day 2023: Date, History, Activities

Brunch and cocktail aficionados, mark your calendars for May 16: it’s National Mimosa Day! This classic cocktail, consisting of equal portions brut champagne and fruit juice (typically orange juice), has become a brunch staple and a wedding favourite. The drink dates back to the 1920s and most likely derives its name from an Australian yellow flower. With a variety of methods to add a twist to this cocktail, it’s easy and enjoyable to celebrate this drink that we all agree is mimo-so-delicious!

The background of National Mimosa Day

Many cocktail recipes call for multiple ingredients, mixers, and other items that most of us do not have in our kitchens. Mimosa preparation is fast and easy! Pour the juice of your choosing, chilled, into a glass (or a champagne flute, if you’re feeling fancy), and then add the champagne. Voila!Despite their ease of preparation, there is something about a mimosa that makes us feel more refined. Possibly the champagne flute or the champagne itself is to blame. Perhaps it’s the attractive hue and light, effervescent flavour. Perhaps it’s the way the name sounds. Whatever it may be, it can unquestionably transform a “bubble bath” into a “luxury bath.”Although mimosas are most commonly associated with nuptials, First Class flights, and brunch, they are not limited to these occasions. They are wonderful on a sweltering summer day. Cosy snow days spent inside become even more enjoyable when accompanied by the beverage. They are a delightful beverage to enjoy on occasions such as New Year’s Eve. The mimosa is an excellent year-round beverage that can enhance any occasion.It is believed that the drink’s name comes from a native Australian yellow flower.Alfred Hitchcock makes the mimosa drink prominent in the United States.

NATIONAL MIMOSA DAY ACTIVITIES

Brunch!

Mimosas and brunch are as complementary as eggs and bacon, pancakes and maple syrup, or orange juice and…champagne. This year, May 16 falls on a Thursday, but that shouldn’t stop you from savouring this pairing. If you cannot execute brunch, eat breakfast for supper. The anticipation of French toast and mimosas will assist you in getting through the day.

Create a novel variation of a classic dish

Mimosas are not always prepared with citrus juice. Try substituting your preferred fruit juice in its place. Cranberry, grapefruit, and blueberry are delicious with champagne, but don’t be afraid to get inventive! You can also add a few berries or fruit segments to boost the flavour and enhance the appearance.

Make non-alcoholic mimosas

If you are under the age of 21 or simply prefer non-alcoholic beverages, you are in luck! Mimosas made with ginger ale are just as delicious and refreshing as those made with champagne. Sparkling liquids, such as sparkling apple cider, are also suitable champagne substitutes.
