I love a classic mimosa, but for brunch on Sunday I wanted to try something a bit different. So, somehow I got the zany idea to substitute grapefruit juice for orange juice. Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this bright, delicious drink.

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle of (cheap) champagne
• 1 bottle of grapefruit juice
• 1/2 cup of sugar (You could use less sugar if you like a tart drink)
• approximately 1 dozen strawberries

1. Cut up the strawberries.
2. Add the sugar to the strawberries and mix.
3. Transfer strawberries to a pitcher or a glass and meddle with a spoon.
4. Fill the pitcher 1/2 way full of grapefruit juice.
5. Top the pitcher off with champagne. Stir. Enjoy. It’s too easy!

Mondays call for a cocktail, don’t you agree?
