Mother's Day Perfect Mimosa

Written by Chris P., Wine and Beer Buyer on Wednesday, May 06 2009

 WHO CAME UP WITH THE PERFECT MOTHER'S DAY REFRESHMENT?

The origins of the mimosa are somewhat murky. Allegedly, the drink was invented at the Paris Ritz in 1925, although it bears a striking similarity to another cocktail, the Buck's Fizz, which was introduced in England in 1921, and named after the club in which it was first served. The Buck's Fizz is also traditionally made with champagne and orange juice, although grenadine is sometimes added as well. The name introduced in 1925 comes from the flowers of the mimosa plant, which are yellow and appear slightly frothy from a distance. In Britain, the mixture of orange juice and champagne is still referred to as a Buck's Fizz, while the term mimosa is used in the United States and in most of Europe.

In the end, the most important part is what you need to make the perfect mimosa THIS WEEK for Mother's Day!

Riondo Prosecco is our best prosecco and we have it on sale this week for $11.95. Save $3! This beautiful sparkling wine from Italy is HIGHLY RATED, 90 points by Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate, the most famous wine critic in the world.

He says,

"This effusively fruity, light-bodied offering offers terrific floral notes, persistent effervescence and a clean, delicate finish. There is not much body or weight in this crystal clean, pure, sparkling white. It is an ideal aperitif to enjoy over the next year. It is an amazing Prosecco"

So now that you have the "Sparkling" part of your perfect mimosa, you now need the perfect mixer.

Grab a bottle of Agrumi Tangerine Italian Soda. Agrumi is an italian word that refers to all things citrus. This all natural soda is the perfect compliment to your Prosecco to make Mom her perfect Mimosa!
