Composed of sparkling wine and orange juice, the Mimosa was created around 1925 and named for a yellow-flowered plant. Its origin is often pegged to Frank Meier, a bartender at the Ritz hotel in Paris during that time. Meier eventually included the recipe in his 1936 book, “The Artistry of Mixing Drinks,” which is believed to be the Mimosa’s first appearance in print.

It’s easy to see why the drink became a sensation. It’s refreshing and delicious, and even the most novice drinks-makers can remember the two-part recipe. The Mimosa is also a lighter serve than the high-octane Screwdriver, which skips sparkling wine in favor of vodka, so it’s a natural choice for morning consumption.
