Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup chilled Apple Cider
  • 1 cup chilled Cranberry Juice
  • Champagne or Sparkling Wine, chilled (to top off)
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick per glass
  • Fresh Apple Slices (for garnish)
  • Fresh Cranberries (optional, for garnish)

Optional Sweeteners

  • Honey (to taste)
  • Maple Syrup (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Ingredients: Start by chilling the apple cider, cranberry juice, and champagne. A cold mimosa is essential for the best taste and optimal effervescence.
  2. Mix the Juices: In a pitcher, combine equal parts chilled apple cider and cranberry juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors without losing the natural fizz.
  3. Pour the Mixture into Glasses: Fill your glasses halfway with the juice mixture, allowing room for the champagne or sparkling wine.
  4. Top with Champagne or Sparkling Wine: Slowly pour chilled champagne into each glass until nearly full. Pouring slowly preserves the bubbles and creates a beautiful layered look.
  5. Add Garnishes and Cinnamon Stick: Garnish each glass with a fresh apple slice, a few cranberries, and a cinnamon stick, which also serves as a gentle stirrer.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality apple cider and pure cranberry juice for best flavor.
  • Pour champagne slowly to retain bubbles and avoid overflow.
  • Prepare garnishes ahead of time for quick assembly.
  • Experiment with glassware: flutes highlight bubbles; clear coupes showcase garnishes.
  • Add honey or maple syrup gradually to maintain balance and freshness.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling cider.
  • Try dipping glass rims in honey and cinnamon sugar for added sweetness and texture.
  • Consider warming the apple cider with cinnamon and cloves for a mulled variation before chilling.
