Nothing says fall quite like a mimosa with apple cider. It’s cozy, a little sweet, and carries just the right amount of spice to feel festive. You only need two ingredients and a few minutes to pull it together, which makes it an easy win for brunch, autumn parties, or a holiday toast!
Fill each champagne flute with 3 ounces of champagne. Let the bubbles settle.
Gently pour 3 ounces of apple cider into each glass.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Use chilled cider and champagne, and serve in glasses that have been cooled.
Choose a good, affordable Brut for mixing and save the fancy bottles for sipping.
Mix cinnamon and sugar on a plate, rim glasses with lemon, and dip for a spiced coating.
Stir gently so the bubbles stay lively.
Add a few thin apple slices for a touch of sweetness and a pretty look.
Try spiced rum, bourbon, or ginger liqueur for extra warmth, and garnish with cranberries, pomegranate seeds, a cinnamon stick, or rosemary sprig.
Serve: Apple cider cocktails pair well with savory bites like cucumber pinwheels, potato skins, prosciutto with melon, or cheese and charcuterie, and for sweets, try apple cinnamon cake, cinnamon rolls, or pumpkin cream cheese muffins.Store: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, and add the champagne right before serving so every glass stays bubbly.
