Let this updated classic – bursting with bright, fresh fruit – wash over you and refresh at your next weekend brunch.

The legendary mimosa cocktail is believed to have originated in the 1920s at the Hôtel Ritz in Paris, created by bartender Frank Meier. Named after the yellow-flowered mimosa plant, the cocktail quickly gained popularity for its light and refreshing taste. Traditionally made with equal parts champagne and chilled citrus juice, the mimosa has become a staple at brunches and celebrations around the world. But I think it’s time to give it a gentle upgrade.

    • Pineapple: Cut 3-4 chunks of frozen or fresh pineapple.
    • Raspberries: Rinse and dry 4-5 raspberries.

    • In a champagne flute, first layer 8-10 blueberries.
    • Add 3-4 chunks of pineapple on top of the blueberries.
    • Place 4-5 raspberries on top of the pineapple.
  2. Add Juice and Bitters:
    • Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of fresh squeezed orange juice over the layered fruit.
