The Mimosa's origin is disputed. Some attribute it to the Ritz Hotel Paris around 1925, while others note Buck's Fizz (a similar drink) was created at Buck's Club London in 1921. The name comes from the mimosa flower, whose yellow blooms the drink's color resembles. Regardless of origin, it became the defining brunch cocktail of the 20th century.
