Mimosa Moments

Hello everyone!  So I'm totally late on my Mimosa Moments post for the week, but yesterday I had some questionable bbq and I got sick.  So I didn't make any mimosas this week :O  BUT.....I do have a mimosa review.  Which is basically almost as good.

Alright so there's this awesome cafe near where I live: Charlie's.  Check out their website, and if you're in the Norfolk area and haven't been I would highly recommend.  One of my favorite things to get (a reason I can't go there too often) is their Irish Omelette, which is cheese, onions and corned beef hash.  If you don't like it, you are for real missing out.  But I'm not here to review their (fabulous) foods.  I'm here to review this baby:

Oh yes my friends.  This is a real thing.

That mammoth beast is Charlie's world famous HALF GALLON MIMOSA.  A drink so great, it needed to be written in all caps.  Just to give you a little perspective here, this is my HALF GALLON MIMOSA next to a regular mason jar:

How exciting is that?

So this was basically like the best thing ever this morning.  I've gotten their regular mimosas before, but I've never gotten a mimosa (or drink in general) this big.  So I decided to try it.  You know....for science ;)

Half Gallon Mimosa + Kendyl= a Happy Lady

Let me tell you:  Be Prepared.  It took me a while to finish that thing.  Like all of breakfast + 30 min.  But it was everything you would expect a classic mimosa to be:  the perfect mix between champagne and O.J. Crisp, delicious, and yes, the perfect compliment to my corned beef hash and eggs (hate on me but I will continue to eat the artery hardening deliciousness).  

While I didn't make this mimosa, I have to say it's a must try.  Any of their mimosas (not just the HALF GALLON one) are most delicious.  But if you're brave/have a designated driver/can handle that shit then HALF GALLON away.  Just for real, expect to pee a lot.  That's a lot of liquid, hombre.

So next week will be on track with a new recipe, but I figured I would spread the gospel of Charlie's Cafe and their awesome libations.  Tomorrow's Sunday- go if you're in the area and treat yourself to a fabulous beverage.
