Naming

I wonder how the cocktail got the name "mimosa"?

Because of the color of the leave of mimosa: genus of leguminous shrubs, 1731, coined in Mod.L. (1619) from L. mimus "mime" + -osa, adj. suffix (fem. of -osus); so called because some species (including the common Sensitive Plant) fold leaves when touched, seeming to mimic animal behavior. The alcoholic drink is so called from its yellowish color, which resembles that of the mimosa. [1] Iolakana•T 15:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Needs Work

This page needs some work.Sirlearnsalot 9 December 2006

Agreed. I just tagged it {{Template:Cocktails-expand|cocktails-expand}}. Hopefully that will encourage someone to do just that very thing. :-) --Willscrlt 13:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Shaken?

The infobox says it should be served "shaken"... why? you shouldn't shake it!

Measurements...

In the description text it says that it consists of three parts champagne to two parts orange juice, however in the sidebar it lists the amounts as one part each. This needs to be fixed to one or the other.
