Best Cranberry Mimosas Cocktail Recipe
This cocktail mixes equal parts chilled orange juice and cranberry juice with twice the volume of champagne or sparkling wine, served in a 10-ounce flute. Garnishes like fresh cranberries, rosemary, or orange peel can add aroma and festive color. The bright, tart cranberry balances the orange's sweetness, while the champagne adds effervescence, making a refreshing celebratory drink.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces orange juice chilled, fresh squeezed is best
- 2 ounces cranberry juice chilled (see notes, pure
- 4 ounces champagne or Sparkling wine, or non-alcoholic substitute chilled
- Garnish fresh cranberries, fresh rosemary and/or orange peel, optional garnish
Instructions
- Pour the orange juice in the champagne flute, followed by the cranberry juice, and top it off by slowly pouring the Champagne, sparkling wine or non-alcoholic sparkling beverage. Enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust ingredient amounts for smaller flutes by reducing proportions equally to maintain balance.
- Use pure cranberry juice for more tartness or cranberry cocktail juice for a sweeter taste; add simple syrup if too tart.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice improves flavor, but bottled juice can be used.
- Pour champagne slowly to prevent overflow and preserve carbonation.
- Substitute sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine for a virgin mimosa version.
