Christianne’s Golden Mimosa, Available Through Mother’s Day, Ends Its National Tour Where It Began: Las Vegas

Over the past month, we’ve traveled across the country celebrating something that started very simply: a family tradition, a recipe in my kitchen, and a desire to honor mothers in a meaningful way.
Now, after a whirlwind national tour spanning luxury venues from coast to coast, Christianne’s Golden Mimosa is coming to an end exactly where it began - in Las Vegas.
And honestly, there’s something incredibly full-circle about that.
This tour truly took us from sea to shining sea - literally (be sure to follow along and see it all on our Instagram). We toasted overlooking the Pacific Ocean at ERIA in Sausalito and PLANTA Cocina in Marina del Rey, celebrated Atlantic Ocean views at Cobalt inside Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel + Spa, and soaked in incredible city skylines at Top of the V atop The Viv Hotel in Anaheim.
We explored New York City through unforgettable meals and experiences at PLANTA Queen in Nomad and Alma in Brooklyn, where the energy of the city paired perfectly with the celebratory spirit behind the cocktail. In Northern California, we spent time at Sienna Restaurants, each bringing their own warmth and hospitality to the experience.
And of course, one of the most exciting stops of all was returning home to Las Vegas, celebrating at Liam’s Den and Bubble Bar inside The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort - a venue that perfectly captured the glamorous, sparkling spirit of the tour.
It’s hard to explain what it feels like to walk into venues across America and see a recipe you created in your own kitchen suddenly become part of other people’s celebrations.
What made this campaign especially emotional for me is that Christianne’s Golden Mimosa was never just about a cocktail.
For me, Mother’s Day has always been synonymous with mimosas. My mother and grandmothers rarely drank throughout the year, but every Mother’s Day, there would be champagne, juice, flowers, and laughter around the table. As a little girl, I was handed my own flute filled with sparkling water and orange juice so I could participate too. Even then, I understood it was about much more than the drink itself - it was about celebrating the women who shaped our families and our lives.
Years later, I found myself in my own kitchen experimenting with flavors and creating what would become Christianne’s Golden Mimosa: pineapple juice, apple juice, orange liqueur, brandy, lime, cinnamon, and beautiful French sparkling wine from Gratsi Brut.
The golden glow in the glass came to symbolize so much for me - motherhood, celebration, family, warmth, and even my daughter Livia, who made me a mom in the first place.
Watching this campaign evolve into a national tour honestly exceeded anything we imagined.
And while the cocktail itself has been wonderful, the real magic has been the people behind it.
The chefs who welcomed us. The bartenders who perfected every pour and celebrated the balance of the drink with us. The venue teams who believed in the idea. The viewers who showed up after seeing us on television. Everyone who tagged us in their Mother’s Day celebrations. The women who shared stories about their own moms and grandmothers.
That’s the part I’ll remember most.
The reason I love sharing stories, travel, and lifestyle moments with people is because of the power of experiences and connection. This tour became exactly that - a reminder that food, drinks, hospitality, and travel are really about bringing people together.
And now, fittingly, the tour returns home to Las Vegas - the city where this recipe was first shared publicly on CBS nearly a month ago.
There couldn’t be a better ending.
Or perhaps… a better beginning for what comes next.
To every venue, every viewer, every reader, every traveler, and every mom who celebrated with us this season: Thank you for raising a glass with us.
