Quotes
Colin Peter Field's The Cocktails of the Ritz Paris
Pg. 137:
Mimosa (Frank Meier, 1925, apparently)
"I have read in a few books that we actually invented the Mimosa in 1925 at the RItz Paris. However, in Frank Meier's book of 1933 he cites the Mimosa or Champagne Orange and does not sign it himself. Can it be safe to assume that the Ritz Paris did not invent this cocktail? Did Frank forget to sign his creation?"
Recipe
Three parts champagne and two parts thoroughly chilled orange juice
