Citrus Mimosas

This month is Mimosa Month on  Midweek Mixers found only on Bette Lee Crosby's Words, Wit and Wisdom.

I have to admit that regular mimosas bore me to tears. Although, they are one of my son's favorite drinks, I could really do without them. I like the concept though and wanted to do something a bit more fruity or with nice varieties of tastes.

This month I will be featuring a number of Naomi Blackburn originals including:

• The Citrus Mimosa
• The Hawaiian Mimosa
• The Jamaican Mimosa
• The Holiday Mimosa-a step above the traditional mimosa

 So, toss aside that orange juice and come along for the ride.

The Citrus Mimosa is a nice blend of citrus fruits partnered with triple sec and a pink moscato. There result is a nice sweet drink that has a slight bite of grapefruit flavor to it.

Without further ado...
