Ready to kick-start your winter weekends?! Liven things up with a
Not-Your-Mother's Mimosa. Cointreau lends a sweet citrus note
to sparkling wine, and grapefruit bitters bring a bit of zest. You
can add orange juice for a more traditional mimosa experience,
although this bartender advises that juice takes up valuable space
in the glass. Finish with an expressed orange peel because, fancy!
Order a Not-Your-Mother's Mimosa
in Hagerty's or Torchy's or enjoy at
home all season long.
