So for those of us bound for Roo who enjoy this bubbly breakfast treat, how can we go about making our favorite morning confection without a glass bottle of Sparkling Wine? I have read of a couple of different canned variety such as Black Muscat, Presecco and Sofia Mini. None seem very affordable, if they are even available, but they are options. Are there any others??
So i know champaigns special fuzzy feeling comes from the carbonation. Obviously these are sparkling as well. Did them seem just like the real deal mimosa's? Buzz and taste? I was planning on being a ninja but this might be a great alternative.

I think you'll be okay with any sparkling white. You probably won't be able to taste a difference. It wouldn't surprise me if the mimosas you order in restaurants don't have "real champagne"

Oh, actually all champagne is French; it's named after the region. Otherwise it's sparkling white wine. Americans of course don't recognize the convention, so it becomes that thing of calling all of their sparkling white "champagne", even though by definition they're not.

Hmm, it seems like everyone loves to talk about how "Only champagne labeled champagne and from Champagne is really champagne" yet we all use "champagne" as an acknowledged generic term for sparkling wine. Just as Xerox, Coke (in some areas), E-Z Up, Tylenol, Philly steak and Vise-Grip are used commonly but improperly to refer to knock-offs as well as branded items, we know that sparkling wine from California is not proper champagne, but we call it that anyway, because it is effectively pretty damned similar.
I really think that most people who drink Barefoot Bubbly Moscato, Korbel, Codorniu or Freixinet know they are not drinking real Champagne, but it is easy to call it all that, and it is all enjoyable. Hell, I'm not above drinking Cook's sparkling spumante if it is offered to me, though I get it, that is not actual champagne.
Anyway, we're more than a bit unlikely to find champagne in cans or plastic, so what sparkling wines are available in Roo-friendly formats? I've seen the Coppola cans online but not locally, and that's about it.

I know it's not quite the same thing, but we used to drink Orange Crushes all the time when I was in college. Half a pint of orange juice, half a pint of light beer and a shot of amaretto. Freaking delicious.
