Happy Friday friends!! Today I’m sharing a fun twist on a classic mimosa, perfect for your weekend brunch! I love mimosas I think they are such a fun addition to any brunch. A Caesar or a Bloody Mary is delicious and great for brunch but they are a bit of work. Sure you can batch them but you need all kinds of crazy toppings and not everyone loves savoury drinks. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t enjoy a mimosa. Also you can make them virgins so everyone can enjoy!
I’m planning to make these for Sunday brunch. Recently our lives have been so busy that my husband and I haven’t had a ton of time together. Spring is his busy season for work, so it’s been a lot of late nights and extra hours on the weekends, but this too shall pass right? Of course it will. We decided that during this busy time Sunday mornings are reserved for us. Just the two of us sharing a meal and connecting. I’m really cherishing our mornings and I want to continue this new tradition even when our lives slow down a bit.
Since starting our new Sunday tradition I’ve been trying out lots of new recipe for breakfast. Of course we love waffles, banana pancakes and lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes. Now of course coffee works to wash any of those tasty meals down but a mimosa just makes things extra special!
These mimosas are so simple, just smash up some strawberries and mint. Add orange juice and top each glass with bubbly! And if you want to make these none alcoholic swap the champagne for sparkling water.
These are a must try for any weekend brunch! Make a big ol pitcher and relax this weekend!
