I know some of these special food “holidays” are a bit of a
joke. National Jelly Doughnut Day or National White Peppercorn Day are kind of ridiculous.
(I actually made those up, although I
wouldn’t be surprised if they exist.) Obviously, it’s a way for marketing
folks to get their products center stage and have them featured on social media
particularly. I have to admit I fell for today’s special day – National Mimosa
Day. WHY it wasn’t on a Sunday (to go along with brunch) I have no idea. But I couldn’t
resist pouring myself one…or two.
Aperol Spritz Mimosa
Pour 2 ounces of orange juice in the bottom of a pretty
champagne glass. (All champagne glasses are pretty.) Add a splash of Aperol. Fill almost all the
way up with champagne. (Prosecco counts too.) Top it off with a hit of seltzer.
Drink, enjoy, repeat.

Does anyone ever need an excuse to drink mimosas? I wouldn't mind every day being National Mimosa Day! One of my favorite drinks.
Hi Rach,
I'm with you! In addition to drinking mimosas EVERYDAY, I could probably drink them ALL DAY too!
I wrote a blog post making fun of Tempranillo Day as yet another hashtag holiday and got a rather huffy response from the folks representing Rioja wines here in the U.S. But I have to put my foot down about them. Unless the day chosen represents something specific about the thing being celebrated, it seems kind of dumb. I could see a mimosa day if it was the day that a mimosa recipe first appeared in print, for example, but just picking a random day for the heck of it makes it seem like #nationalsnowconeday.
Tom,
I don't disagree with you, except when we're talking about things I would love any excuse to have. #NationalMimosaDay or #NationalDacquoiseDay or #NationalKoulibiacDay are all fake holidays I can get behind! :)
What was the ones you made for us at Thanksgiving, they were very yum?
Hi Vanda!
I'm not actually sure what I made, but topping anything with champagne is good!
