Mimosas


Ingredients
1 Cup orange juice

1 (750 ml) bottle champagne

1/2 Cup grenadine 

Directions
Fill 8 flutes 1/4 full with orange juice. Top 3/4 full with champagne. Slide two tablespoons grenadine down the side of each flute. This allows the syrup to go to the bottom of the drink and makes it pretty. Joe laughs at me because it has to be pretty.  I add a cherry*

We serve these for breakfast or brunch Christmas morning
 but they are good any time.

joy and peace
Olive

    We call that Buck's Fizz. It is deliciously refreshing.

    I have only had mimosas a couple times but I don't think they had grenadine either. They are good.

    Yum! I love those, but haven't had one for a long time. I don't think I've ever had them with grenadine either.

    Sounds delish Olive... I could use one right now... I've come down with a nasty cold... my daddy used to make me a hot toddy when I was a little girl that really knocked a cold fast... your mimosa might just do the trick too!... drink one for me, 'k?... xoxo Julie Marie
