Mimosa (cocktail)

Okay kiddo, so a mimosa is a fancy drink that adults like to have during brunch or special occasions. It's a mix of two things: orange juice and champagne.

Now, orange juice is a sweet and tangy juice that comes from oranges. You know oranges, right? They're those delicious round fruits that you peel and eat. They have a lot of vitamin C, which is really good for you.

Champagne is a type of alcohol, which is a grown-up drink. It's like juice for adults, but it can make you feel a little dizzy or silly if you have too much of it. Champagne is fizzy and bubbly, kind of like soda, but it's made from grapes and it has a special taste.

When you mix orange juice and champagne together in a special glass, like a tall flute, it makes a mimosa. It's a special drink that people like to have when they're celebrating, or just want to have a really nice brunch. It tastes really good and it looks pretty too!
