Ingredients

For the Apple Cider Mimosas:
  • 2 ounces brandy or dark rum
  • 4 ounces apple cider
  • 8 ounces chilled champagne Prosecco, or other sparkling wine
  • Optional: Apple slices for garnish
To Rim the Glasses:
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon pumpkin pie spice is also tasty if you have it on hand
  • Additional apple cider

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rim the glasses: In a shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. In a separate shallow bowl, pour a few tablespoons of apple cider. Wet the edges of the glasses in the apple cider, then tap the wet edges in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to rim.
  2. Pour 1 ounce of brandy or rum and 2 ounces apple cider in each glass. Top with 4 ounces champagne. Enjoy immediately, garnished with apple slices as desired.

Notes

  • I recommend a dry sparkling wine for mimosas. Look for a bottle labeled "brut" (which is actually drier than "dry" or even "extra dry." Cava, prosecco, champagne, or another sparkling wine of your choice all work well.
