What’s in a Cranberry Mimosa?
Cranberry Juice: Cranberry juice on its own is very tart, while a cranberry juice cocktail is made with a combination of cranberry juice, grape juice, water, and high fructose corn syrup. Check labels carefully, and while either one will do, 100% cranberry juice is the best choice.
Champagne: Champagne, Prosecco, or sparkling wine can be used interchangeably in this recipe and there is absolutely no need to buy pricy vintages of bubbly. Sparkling cider (like Martinelli’s) or ginger ale can be easily switched for the champagne for a non-alcohol version.
Variations: A splash of plain or flavored vanilla or whipped cream vodka, apple schnapps, white rum, or a shot of gin will kick up mimosas just a notch if desired!
Garnishes: Eye-catching mimosas deserve equally upscale, tasty garnishes! A thin slice of lime or orange sits well on the rim of a glass, a sprig of rosemary speared with a fresh cranberry will look definitely “extra”, a piece of candied ginger or freeze small chunks of orange, lemon, grapefruit, blueberries or make sugared cranberries for fun an unexpected garnishes.
