6 Situations When Drinking a Mimosa Is a Perfect Idea

When it comes to morning cocktails, Bloody Marys often get all the attention. However, for early risers who are not fond of tomato juice, this presents a problem. If this sounds familiar and you are a fan of orange juice and champagne, there is a delicious AM alternative; say “hello” to the mimosa.

After discovering the amazingness of this morning mixture, you will want to share it with your friends and family whenever the opportunity arises. You may also wonder about when the best times to drink one are. If so, check out this list of the top six recommendations by fellow mimosa lovers.

  1. On a Brunch Date

If you appreciate mornings but you are not someone who enjoys waking up before 9 a.m. to meet people in public, that makes sense. With that said, maybe breakfast plans are not the best idea for you. Still, if you want to be able to catch some of the tasty pancakes at your local diner before they stop serving, brunch is a solid choice. Plus, it is a perfect time for a mimosa because you will feel less guilty about drinking before lunchtime (if you even worry about that sort of thing).

  1. On a Breakfast Date

Without a doubt, breakfast is the most underrated meal of the day. The next time that you have plans to go out on a date with your friends or do something romantic with your special someone, why not exchange lunch or dinner arrangements for breakfast at a quaint breakfast shop? While you are there, you and your company can sip mimosas while enjoying a conversation.

  1. On Christmas Morning

For a fun twist on your family’s Christmas morning traditions, why not add mimosas to the mix? As light and bubbly drinks, they can offer a pleasant and festive buzz among your relatives as everyone tears open their gifts around the tree. If you are someone who celebrates alone or with just one or two people in a small family, mimosas can also offer an intimate holiday drink choice.

  1. On New Year’s Morning

When most people think about New Year’s, champagne is one of the top images that come to mind. However, all the excitement tends to go toward the night before as everyone eagerly waits for a giant and shimmering ball to drop or for fireworks to explode across the sky. What about the next morning though? Why not toast to a new year when you and your loved ones first wake up? Just add OJ.

  1. While Camping 

If you love the outdoors and the thought of boozing it up by a campfire sounds heavenly, then another great place for bringing along some OJ and champagne is on your next camping adventure. Given the ease with which you can make this delicious concoction, it is simple to pack and does not take up much space. Plus, it is incredibly uncomplicated to make.

  1. On a Vacation

When you go on vacation, you usually have more ambition to go out and try new things. If you have never tried a mimosa, then use this relaxing time to do so. On your upcoming trip, plan at least one day for taking it easy without too much of an itinerary. Then, pick a breakfast joint to try that serves alcohol and start the morning slowly. You will be happy you did.

For the perfect reason to drink a mimosa for the first time or the hundredth, any of these situations will do. In addition, no one ever said the mimosa had to be an early drink. Add “breakfast for dinner” for another idea.
