What Is 'National Mimosa Day'?
So What Is 'National Mimosa Day'?
National Mimosa Day on May 16th celebrates the beverage of brunches, The Mimosa! This simple cocktail offers a refreshing toast-worthy drink at celebrations of all kinds. Made with orange juice and sparkling wine, mimosas also add a bright punch of flavor the day after a celebration.
No matter the celebration, mimosas are served up in tall champagne glasses. They turn basic buffets and summer brunches into a festive occasion. You also don’t have to break the bank to make them. Fill the glasses half full with your favorite sparkling wine (it doesn’t have to be expensive champagne) and top it off with chilled orange juice. Garnish with an orange slice, and you’re all set.
Pinot's Palette is a Painting & Wine studio, but we also offer a variety of beer, cocktails, AND even Mimosas! Enjoy one as you paint, listen to music, and have a great time with friends!

Interesting Facts About Mimosas:
** The Mimosa Actually Came From France- You can thank the French for the Mimosa. While the British are responsible for Sunday Brunch, it is the French that coined the meal’s signature beverage. The first Mimosa was actually served at The Ritz Hotel in Paris in 1925. Frank Meier is said to be the inventor of the drink.
** Not All Mimosas Have the Same Recipe- Sure the standard Mimosa mixes together Champagne and orange juice, but there is a twist on this recipe. The original Mimosa was made with a 50/50 mix of Champagne and orange juice. However, some claim the original Mimosa actually used the recipe that is now called the Buck’s Fizz. This is one ounce of Champagne and 2 ounces of fresh-squeezed orange juice. For an even more fun twist, some places will actually add a splash of Triple Sec or Grand Marnier to the glass.
** The Mimosa is Named After the Mimosa Flower– This is a bright orange flower that is native to southern Mexico and to Central and South America.
