Mimosa & Bucks Fizz

The breakfast drinks of champions! Nothing beats a mimosa with bunch on a hungover Sunday morning -- although that was not the setting for me this time. They are bubbly, sweet, and go well with sweet breakfast foods like pancakes or french toast. Yummy yummy.

But, what's the difference between Bucks Fizz and Mimosa? Grand Marnier. Mimosas contain Grand Marnier, which is expensive. Frankly, I liked my Bucks Fizz better, so I don't think I would go to the trouble and the expense to make a proper mimosa.

Mimosa:

Champagne
Orange juice
Dash of Grand Marnier
-Use more champagne than orange juice to taste.

Bucks Fizz:

Champagne
Orange juice
-Use 3 parts champagne to 1 part orange juice.

Enjoy and bottoms up!
