Mimosas are Cute But... (OUTSPOKEN_DIVA's Favorite Recipes)

...we only consume them in abundance because they are simple and cheaper than other brunch beverages. Yeah, I said it. Champagne & Citrus juice, more than likely orange is not that complex. I was on a dating meet up last year, and the guy asked what was my favorite meal. Of course, it is Brunch (despite its trendiness). And he said something about me just possibly really liking mimosas. I knew he probably didn't mean any harm. But my soul sighed. There are other drinks on a brunch menu. Heck, there are other drinks made with that really salty bubbly wine called Champagne. I know I told you guys about Poinsettia Punch. Have you ever had a Bellini? Ooh, what about St Germain Punch?

I fell in love with this drink at a place(now closed) called So & So. It's tasty. And it uses elderflower liqueur. Doesn't that sound ritzy?

St Germain Punch

Ingredients 

• 1 Tbsp cranberry juice (chilled)
• 1 Tbsp pomegranate juice (chilled)
• 3 Tbsp St. Germain elderflower liqueur
• 1 cup champagne or sparkling white wine (chilled)
• 1/4 cup club soda (chilled)
• 1 tsp dried cranberries

Directions 

1. To one serving glass, add juices, St. Germain, champagne or wine, and top with club soda and a few cranberries.
2. Taste and adjust ingredients as desired. Repeat for more servings

So the next at brunch, look away from that "bottom-less" pitcher and pick another drink. Your taste buds need a variety.
