We continue Mimosas this month on Bette Lee Crosby’s Midweek Mixers. A fun one that takes in the flavors of Jamaica is the Jamaican Mimosa. A Naomi Blackburn original, the Jamaican Mimosa blends the gentle flavors of mango and coconut which is then topped with champagne.
Special note: this will produce 6-8 mimosas.
On that note, here we go:
Ingredients:
1 Mango, chopped
1 can Mango nectar
Coconut rum
1 bottle champagne
Directions:
1) In a blender, puree chopped mango with mango nectar.
2) In a shaker, combine 1.5 oz mango mix, 1 oz coconut rum and a small handful of ice. Shake until chilled (30 seconds)
3) Pour into well chilled champagne flutes and top with champagne. Stir very gently to blend.
4) If desired, serve with a slice of mango as a garnish.

Thanks Guys! I am happy that you all enjoy them. I must admit that I have a fun time with creating them or “testing” unusual ones I come across.
YUM! I so look forward to these recipes every week!
I love to come over here in the morning for my wake up beverage while reading emails and surfing blogs. Thanks Bette and Naomi for the eye opener. lol
