Sparkling Apple Cider Mimosa

Fall is in the air, and what better way to toast the season than with a refreshing twist on the classic mimosa?

This Sparkling Apple Cider Mimosa combines the crispness of apple cider with the sweetness of orange juice and a hint of citrus, perfect for sipping on a brisk autumn day.

Ingredients

• 1 bottle of champagne or sparkling wine (about 750ml)
• 1 cup of apple cider
• 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 cup of triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
• Slices of orange, for garnish

Instructions

Pour the champagne or sparkling wine into a large pitcher or jug.

Add the apple cider, orange juice, and triple sec to the pitcher.

Stir gently to combine.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

To serve, pour the Sparkling Apple Cider Mimosa into champagne flutes or tall clear glasses.

Garnish each glass with a slice of orange and serve immediately.

You should end up with 8 servings.

Notes

Use a high-quality champagne or sparkling wine for the best flavors.

Make sure to chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

You can adjust the amount of triple sec to your taste, depending on how strong you like your orange flavor.

Consider making a double batch if you’re serving a crowd.

For a fun twist, try using different types of citrus fruits, like lemons or grapefruits, for garnish.

Don’t over-stir the mixture, as it can make the drink lose its fizz.

You can prepare the mixture ahead of time, but be sure to give it a good stir before serving.
