#011: LICK HER MIMOSA RECIPE

We couldn’t resist creating a cocktail that welcomed in 2009 (we know you have some left-over champagne)! Meres and I put our blonde noggins together and came up with a delicious drink recipe. After all, what better way to send off 2008 than with a bubble laden cocktail? This festive drink is an offshoot of the classic Mimosa done up Blonde on Blonde style. We call this the “Lick Her” Mimosa. We use a little of the citrus-vanilla flavor of Licor 43 ® and, of course, the title may invoke other meanings at the end of the evening for lucky couples out there. Actually, Meres officially named this drink for reasons I will leave to your imagination.

The Lick Her Mimosa

4 oz Champagne
½ oz Licor 43
1 ½ oz Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice*
1 teaspoon Grenadine

*If you don't want to bother with fresh-squeezed, Simply Orange is a great substitute.

Pour the freshly squeezed orange juice into a champagne flute. Then pour in the Licor 43 ®. Fill the glass with 4 ounces of chilled champagne & then top it off with the teaspoon of grenadine.

We assure you that if you are looking for a winning champagne recipe than this one is a treat. Happy New Year to everyone who has visited our blog!
