A lucky New Year’s Day brunch calls for something simple and bubbly to begin the year on a festive note, and I have just the thing. It’s hardly groundbreaking — we all know and love the classic brunch mimosa — but grapefruit puts such a refreshing edge on this old favorite. And with just two ingredients, it can’t be beat for simplicity.

And since we’re entering high citrus season, I scooped up a box of kumquats to make a whimsical garnish. Why not perch a roly-poly kumquat on the edge of a glass, and have a sip of bubbly to toast the new year for luck?
