Cheers to the holiday season and this festive mimosa! If you have any form of social media, you can see some version of this Mistletoe Mimosa. And if you are serving a crowd, the cocktail tree is not only pretty…it’s fun!
What exactly is a Mistletoe Mimosa? It’s a holiday twist on your traditional mimosa. Sparkling wine or champagne is typically served to celebrate an occasion, making it the perfect beverage to celebrate the holiday season.
Mistletoe mimosas can be made with a variety of fruit juices, which makes for easy customization. Whether it’s cranberry, pomegranate, orange, tangerine or a combination of flavors, you can tailor the mimosa to their taste preferences.
Now, what I love about our Mistletoe Mimosas are these beautiful infused ice cubes! Actually, these ice cubes are the only juice you have to add to your mimosas.
To make Mistletoe Mimosa Ice Cubes you’ll need:
- Fresh cranberries – I put approx 10-12 cranberries per cube. This may vary depending on the size of your ice cube tray.
- Autumn Honey tangerines – I put an ⅛ of a tangerine in each cube.
- Apple Juice and/or cranberry juice – Fill the tray with your favorite juice(s).
- Rosemary – Add one spring to each cube.
Next step, simply freeze your festive ice cubes creations and when you are, add the ice cubes to your favorite glasses and pour the sparkling wine! We used French Blue Crémant de Bordeaux, Brut. The pale gold color and elegant stream of fine bubbles make it perfect for sipping and adding to your favorite mimosa. It’s complex on the nose, white flowers, sweet almonds and a touch of wild strawberry. Cheers!
Mimosas are the ultimate brunch cocktail, don’t forget to make our Tangerine French Toast for brunch too 🙂
