This past weekend I traveled up to New Jersey with my husband and Dolly to spend Easter with my in-laws. We had a wonderful weekend together shopping, going out to dinner and just spending quality time together. The highlight of the weekend would definitely have to have been the delicious brunch my mother-in-law made for us on Easter Sunday. The menu included - a Garden Veggie Gruyere Fritatta, Bacon, Assorted pastries and the most delicious mimosas (pictured above).
I have received a bunch of inquiries from followers wanting to know how to make these fabulous mimosas, so today I am sharing the recipe for making this delicious cocktail. I love this recipe because it is a unique take on the traditional mimosa and is a perfect cocktail for serving/enjoying during the spring and summer months. Below I have included a list of the ingredients, a link to the actual recipe (courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis) and a few ideas for how to style/serve this beverage.
