Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup Champagne or other sparkling white wine
- 2 apple slices (for garnish, optional)
For the Glass Rim (Optional)
- Gold and silver sprinkles
- Water (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass rim: Dip the top of each champagne glass into water to moisten the rim, then dip the rim into gold and silver sprinkles to coat it evenly. This adds a festive touch to your mimosa.
- Add apple cider: Pour apple cider into each champagne glass until it is half to three-quarters full, depending on how strong you prefer the cocktail. The apple cider provides a sweet and crisp flavor base.
- Top with Champagne: Slowly pour Champagne or your preferred sparkling white wine into the glass to fill it, creating a sparkling, bubbly finish.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, add a thin apple slice to the rim or float it in the glass for a decorative and seasonal garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Apple Cider Mimosa.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling water or apple-flavored sparkling beverage for Champagne.
- Chill all ingredients and glasses beforehand for the best taste and presentation.
- Adjust the apple cider to Champagne ratio to make the drink more or less alcoholic according to preference.
- Use fresh apple slices for garnish to maintain crispness and visual appeal.
