This is a nice brunch drink to serve guests on a lazy summer weekend or as a special treat for yourself. You might need it this hot weekend – it’s going to be a scorcher!
Craft beer mimosa made with fresh orange juice and Witty Traveller Belgian Wit from Railway City. I was skeptical beer and orange juice would be a good mix, but I’m a convert now.
A five to one ratio is a good place to start (orange juice to beer, silly). Witty Traveller is great on its own, but a good fit for this mimosa as the body of the beer is light to medium. And there are nice spicy notes to this beer. A slight peppery feel on the tongue combined with other notes of clove, bananas, orange really spices up orange juice.
I wouldn’t judge you if you thought a bit of experimentation was in order to find that right balance of beer to orange juice.
