You all know how much I love a good brunch. Remember my {Easter brunch} that feels like such a long time ago but was really just the other week? I served a French Toast bar, hash browns (my favorite) and bacon. But what is brunch without a good mimosa?
I’ll be honest, when I go out for brunch, I am much more apt to reach for a Bellini or a Bloody than a mimosa. I feel like either there is way more OJ than there should be, not enough champagne or it’s so sickly sweet than after 2, I contemplate calling my dentist. However, mimosas are expected so I bought the champagne and the orange juice.
And then I decided to upgrade it.
I tossed Italian Blood Orange Soda into the mix! Inspired, no?
Actually, it was an easy decision because I thought the sharp and sweet (but not too sweet) taste of the soda would be a nice complement to the traditional mimosa. The blood orange soda on its own is delightful and as the DC heat wave starts up, expect to see this ingredient making a frequent appearance in several frosty beverages…
P.S. Do you like my chocolate Scotty Dog?? I have had one in my Easter basket every year since I was a little girl!
How do you make your mimosa? Or are you Team Bloody, Team Bellini?
