I made this last weekend, what a treat! Lately, I have been eating a lot of Raw Foods. This is one of my favorite meals yet.
A great "morning after" drink for leftover champagne. Throw out your preconceived notions of champagne and orange juice: use bottled or canned orange juice, as fresh-squeezed will generally be too watery, and inexpensive champagne.
Bloggers, have you written about Mimosa Cocktail? Add a widget!
''Mimosa'' is a genus of about 400 species of herbs and shrubs, in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family Fabaceae. There are two species in the genus that are notable. First the ''Mimosa pudica'' because of the way it folds its leaves when touched or exposed to heat. It is native to southern Mexico, Central America and South America but is widely cultivated elsewhere for its curiosity value, both as an indoor plant in temperate areas, and outdoors in the tropics. Outdoor cultivation has led to weedy invasion in some areas, notably Hawaii. Second, the ''Mimosa tenuiflora'', which is best known for its use in shamanic ayahuasca brews due to the psychedelic drug DMT found in its root bark.
