FRENCH 75
MIMOSA
Inspired by a light World War I
French field artillery gun with a
vicious rate of fire, the French 75 is a
champagne-and-liquor combination
with a lot of kick.
Popular with the ladies, Mimosa is
perfect for breakfast or brunch. The
classic mimosa is excessively simple,
refreshing and has hair of the dog
qualities to it. Two parts orange juice
to one of Champagne.
