Mimosas are British Columbians’ most loved wine-based cocktail, and according to a survey conducted by Steller’s Jay, almost half (49 per cent) frequently enjoy them, followed by Sangria and Spritzers. It may be our love of brunch that makes mimosas so popular or simply the magic of sparkling wine that elevates the occasion. Whatever the reason, National Mimosa Day is on May 16 and survey findings offer interesting insights into how British Columbians’ enjoy their brunch beverage of choice.
The perfect mimosa ratio? Half prosecco and half orange juice, according to 42 per cent of British Columbians. But one third (30 per cent) of British Columbians prefer a heavy pour of sparkling to orange juice in their mimosas. With almost half (49 per cent) claiming to drink mimosas, B.C. residents are tied with Alberta as the second biggest mimosa drinkers in the country , following Saskatchewan with 68 per cent. Across Canada, Gen Zs like their mimosas stronger than any other generation, with 41 per cent more sparkling than orange juice.
Whatever your preference, a final tip: while making a mimosa, always remember to add the sparkling wine first and then the juice. This way, the cocktail mixes itself and the bubbly won’t go flat while stirring. Cheers! —Vita Daily
