When Codi Bates, owner and bar director at Bon Bon! in Lawrence, Kansas, developed a Mimosa for the restaurant’s killer brunch menu, she ditched the orange juice and opted for something with a little more pizazz—and a lot more of a vibrant pink hue. “The prickly pear and pomegranate syrup—Unicorn Blood, as we label it—is a perfect balance of tart and sweetness like orange juice in a traditional Mimosa,” says Bates. She finishes the drink with grapefruit juice, for a touch of citric acidity, and bubbly Spanish Cava. The result is a cocktail that’s easy to make in big batches, and one you’ll want to drink for not only brunch, but for breakfast, lunch and dinner, too.
