Purple Mimosa

Purple Mimosa is really just Mimosa, the brunch time superstar from Symbiotic Genetics. Bred in 2017 by crossing Clementine x Purple Punch, it quickly proved it wasn’t just hype, grabbing second place at the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup in Santa Rosa and cementing itself as a West Coast menu mainstay. Clementine supplies the Tangie sparkle: bright citrus, buzzy energy, and a tangerine nose that cuts through a room. Purple Punch (Granddaddy Purple x Larry OG) pulls it back with berry sweetness, deep color, and just enough indica weight to keep things grounded. Together, they made Mimosa the strain equivalent of its namesake cocktail: light, uplifting, and dangerously easy to over pour. The terpene profile is led by limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, stacking citrus zest over herbal musk and peppery spice. Break down a nug and it smells like peeling an orange next to a lavender bush; the flavor rides sweet and tangy with Purple Punch’s berry undertones sneaking in on the exhale. Reports around the high keep it consistent: in low doses, Mimosa is clear, chatty, and motivating, great for errands or conversations that need a spark. Push it further, and the indica side drifts in, softening the edges into a calm, sometimes sleepy finish. It’s the rare strain that flexes as both a wake and-bake kickstarter and an evening wind down, depending on how heavy you pour.
