Big Batch Mimosa with a Beachy Kick

Cocktail Inspiration: Algae

The blue-green hue is an eye-catcher, but algae is also touted by many as an immune-boosting superfood. The flavor has been described as a bit funky, with a seaweed-like note, though fruit juices can help tone it down.

Simplify It

Use sparkling water instead of bubbly for a nonalcoholic sipper.

At San Diego’s Madison on Park, Partner and General Manager Matt Sieve makes his “Blue Dream” mix, centered around Blue Majik powder, in bulk for Sunday brunch, where it’s served with sparkling wine. Alkaline water isn’t a necessity, he says, but it balances out the acidity in the lemonade.
