Drinks of the Month
Drink of the week: Mumosa
Yes, it’s dead cheesy and the colour is a bit Peppa Pig but I suspect it would bring a smile to your mother’s face: M & S’s special Mother's Day version of a mimosa or Buck’s Fizz as it’s more commonly known - a blend of sparkling wine (well, actually still wine with a bit of CO2) and orange juice
The colour, I suspect, comes from the added concentrated raspberry juice and - weirdly - concentrated black carrot juice which you can't pick up btw.
It’s a touch sweet for me but you could always tweak it with a little pink grapefruit juice or pimp it with an extra dash of prosecco (it’s only 4%) And it does save you having to make a Mother’s Day cocktail.
When I picked it up in an M & S store the other day it was a fiver but may have been reduced. Or if you've got an Ocado delivery lined up for the weekend it's on offer at £3.50 and just ££2.50 if you buy 6 bottles from M & S online which you probably wouldn't get by Mother’s Day but you never know.
