Grand Sicilian Mimosa (AKA Blood Orange Mimosa)

When you're in the market for the most dramatic, luscious, and fruity mimosa you can find, enter the Grand Sicilian Mimosa (AKA blood orange mimosa)...it's a real stunner. Blood oranges are believed to have first been cultivated in Sicily, and that gorgeously crimson juice makes for one irresistible drink. Their flavor is sweet, aromatic, and complex. And when combined with some good bubbles and a generous splash of Cointreau, the result is pure mimosa magic.
