03History
Meier — the Ritz's legendary head bartender — mixed equal parts for the morning trade. Buck's Fizz (two parts champagne) is the London near-twin, a few years older.
Cold ingredients only: a warm mimosa is just orange juice with regrets.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
