Ingredients

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.

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.

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 🙂

Oranges vs. Tangerines Per Capita was 80/20–Now is 60/40 (and Gaining)

According to the USDA, the Florida tangerine citrus group “has soared in popularity, with per capita availability more than doubling between 2000 and 2022. This broad group includes tangelos, mandarins, clementines, and traditional tangerines. A comparison of per capita fresh tangerine and fresh orange availability over the last 20 years shows the share going to tangerines increasing from 20 to 40 percent.”

The article goes on to say that growth of the U.S. tangerine market coincides with the launch of marketing campaigns for easy-peel seedless mandarins…”
