Mr. Thomas Bridges
I first had this cocktail at Bar American and I’ve loved it since !
Everyone I’ve served it to also love it ! It’s a great variation and way to kick up the classical mimosa.

My son-in-law served KY 95 for Christmas brunch. Wonderful! He made a pitcher of the blend, poured into glasses and topped with champagne. I will make these for guests and myself! Thank you Bobby and Jeff!

I’ve not made this myself, but I had it at Bar American this past weekend and it was INCREDIBLY tasty! Looking forward to making it myself soon!
