Where to Find a Massey Mimosa

March 24 and 25 is the biggest brunch weekend of the year, but a close second is every weekend in March because of the Massey Mimosa. Which might lead you to this question...

What's the Massey Mimosa?

The Massey Mimosa is kind of like a dog. You love them all, but that doesn't make them all the same. We have over 20 restaurants creating a Massey Mimosa and invited them to jazz up the drink however these choose. We encourage creativity. That means if you try one Massey Mimosa, you'll still need to try at least 19 more since they're all different. Muah ha ha. But don't feel bad about drinking so many mimosas because $1 from every Massey Mimosa goes back to VCU Massey Cancer Center

Where can I get the Massey Mimosa?

Another great question! We have over 20 restaurants whipping together a special concoction to help fundraise for Massey Cancer Center. Here's all the participating restaurants, and what their special beverage will be. Some of the flavors are a mystery, which is all the more reason to head over and try one:

On the Rox is serving up a refreshing Watermelon Limeade in honor of VCU Massey Cancer Center. Plus, On the Rox brunch is one of my personal faves in the city!

Graduate Richmond

Graduate Richmond is doing a delicious blood orange mimosa for their Massey Mimosa. Yum!

Sedona Taphouse

Sedona Taphouse is keeping it classic with orange juice and champagne, garnished with an orange slice. 

The Speakeasy Grill

The Speakeasy Grill's special Massey Mimosa is a mystery, but their normal one was only $3 and the perfect ratio of orange juice and champagne! Plus, The Speakeasy Grill's brunch features famous chicken and waffles.

My Noodle & Bar

How amazing does My Noodle & Bar's $6 passion fruit Massey mimosa look? It's positively sparkling!

Capital Ale House (Innsbrook, Midlothian and Downtown Richmond)

Sip on Capital Ale House Innsbrooke's Lambosa, which is a deliciously sweet mix of raspberry framboise and prosecco.
