Champagne cocktails have become more than drinks prepared for celebrations or special occasions. For most people it’s hard to image brunch without the very popular champagne cocktail, the mimosa. It’s hard to pinpoint the actual origin of the famous cocktail, but many believe it is traced back to a drink called Buck’s Fizz, which was invented in 1921 at the Buck’s Club in London.  This drink is also made with champagne and orange juice, but with a larger quantity of the wine.  It is believed that in 1925 a bartender at the Ritz Hotel in Paris named Frank Meier invented the mimosa, which uses equal parts sparkling wine and juice.

Another popular champagne cocktail is the Kir Royale. The Kir Royale is named after its French creator and the mayor of Dijon, Lejay connoisseur Canon Felix Kir. He invented the first cassis cocktail, the Kir, made with white wine, and the Kir Royal, made with champagne.

• 1⁄4 oz Chambord

Directions:
