Ombré Mimosas

In the South, we love to brunch. Looking forward to weekend brunch gets me through the work week. One of the best parts of brunch are the socially acceptable alcoholic beverages! Bloody Marys or Mimosas are the standard options but I 100% of the time go with a Mimosa. And now that it is citrus season, I am celebrating with a colorful spread of gorgeous and refreshing cocktails!

Mimosas are usually only 2 ingredients: Champagne/Prosecco and fruit juice. Some people fancy it up with Grand Marnier but I say, keep it simple!

The availability of PINK LEMONS made me so excited! If you can’t find pink lemons you can use grapefruit juice.

Enjoy the food photography - this spread was way too gorgeous not to pull out the DSLR!
