Americans have adopted the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo<\/a><\/strong> as one of our very own. And why wouldn’t we? It’s colorful, flavorful, and down right fun. In a world that could always use one more excuse to celebrate, we say why not!<\/p>\n

Typically, Cinco de Mayo is a veritable smorgasbord of all-things-cheese-coasted with endless chips, salsa, and margaritas. Hopefully, you’re all waiting until it’s at least 5 o’clock somewhere to dig in! This year, being that Cinco de Mayo falls on a Saturday, we think you should start the party early with a Mexican-themed brunch. The centerpiece of which should be our Grapefruit and Lime Mimosa<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s as bright and bold as the culture of Mexico, and will certainly be a refreshing departure from your standard OJ and champagne.<\/p>\n

You only need four simple ingredients:<\/p>\n

1 grapefruit
\n1\/2 lime
\n1 orange
\nChampagne or sparkling wine<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Preparation isn’t too involved, if you don’t mind squeezing citrus and popping bubbly.<\/p>\n

Slice the grapefruit in quarters, and do the same with the lime and orange. We hand squeeze, but if you have a juicer you can use this too. Fresh squeezed juice tastes better, of course, but if you need to buy juice go ahead.<\/p>\n

In each of two champagne glasses, add juice of 1\/2 a grapefruit, 1\/4 a lime, and about a tablespoon (or splash) of orange juice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, carefully pop the cork from your champagne and pour over the juice until the glass is full. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve while still chilled.<\/p>\n

While these mimosas are delicious all by themselves, they’ll certainly complement a meal of Mexican favorites perfect for brunch.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
