Classic Cranberry Mimosa Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Start by choosing a chic glass to serve your mimosa. Fill the glass with ice to keep your drink refreshing. This is an important step, especially for the non-alcoholic version, as it enhances the overall experience.
Step 2
Once your glass is chilled with ice, add about four frozen cranberries to the glass. These not only look beautiful but will also keep your drink cool without diluting it.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the cranberry juice. Pour 75 milliliters (2.5 fluid ounces) of fresh cranberry juice into the glass. If you’re preparing the non-alcoholic version, simply continue to the next step. For the classic version, follow it up with 75 milliliters (2.5 fluid ounces) of Prosecco.
Step 4
If you’re making the non-alcoholic version, add 75 milliliters (2.5 fluid ounces) of tonic water for a fizzy finish. For the classic version, the Prosecco will already provide that bubbly touch.
Step 5
Finally, garnish your drink with a fresh rosemary sprig. This adds a lovely aroma and enhances the visual appeal of your mimosa. If you wish, sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter for that extra sparkle. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful drink during your festive celebrations!
Servings
Serving suggestions are where your creativity can truly shine! 🎨✨
Garnish with Fresh Herbs: A sprig of rosemary or mint leaf can take your mimosa to the next level. It adds a delightful aroma and makes your drink look picture-perfect for those Instagram moments! 📸
Fruit Accents: Consider floating a couple of whole frozen cranberries on top of your drink for a charming aesthetic! These little gems are not only beautiful but also delicious. Plus, they keep the drink chilled without diluting it. 🍒
Brunch Pairings: Serve your mimosas alongside a spread of delicious brunch staples such as fluffy pancakes, creamy avocado toast, or a savory egg quiche. Your gathering is sure to be memorable! 🥞🍽️
Themed Arrangements: Celebrate the season by arranging your drinks on a festive serving tray with Christmas-themed decorations. Think pine cones, sprigs of holly, or twinkling lights. It’s all about creating a cozy atmosphere! 🎄
Equipment
Choose elegant wine glasses or champagne flutes to show off your beautiful mimosas. They not only enhance the experience but also allow the bubbles and vibrant colors to shine. Make sure they're clean and sparkling!
If you’re using fresh cranberries, a juicer will help you extract the juice quickly. It’s quick and ensures you get the freshest flavor possible. If you don't have a juicer, a blender can work wonders too!

Variations
Looking for ways to cater to everyone? Here are some **gluten-free** and **vegan** variations for your Cranberry Mimosa. 🌱🍾
Gluten-Free Version: All the ingredients for the mimosas are naturally gluten-free! Just make sure your prosecco or tonic is certified gluten-free to keep it safe for everyone at the table. 🎉
Vegan Option: The classic cranberry juice and tonic version is naturally vegan! If you opt for prosecco, ensure it’s vegan-friendly. Some wines may be processed with animal products, so look for a label that says “vegan.” You can still enjoy all the festive flavors without any compromises! 🌟
Faq
- What type of juice should I use for the best flavor?
For the best flavor, fresh cranberry juice is ideal. If it's not available, ensure that your store-bought version is pure and free from additives that might compromise the taste.
- Can I make these mimosas ahead of time?
While the juice can be prepared ahead, it's best to assemble the drinks just before serving to keep the bubbles from going flat. Create a "mimosa bar" where guests can mix their drinks!
- What's the best garnish for a cranberry mimosa?
A sprig of rosemary or a few frozen cranberries makes a lovely garnish. It adds both aroma and a touch of elegance!
- Can I adjust the sweetness of this drink?
Absolutely! If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweeter prosecco to balance the tartness of the cranberry juice.
- How can I make a larger batch for a party?
Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need, but combine them in a pitcher shortly before serving to maintain the bubbly texture.
- What other fruits can I use in this drink?
You can experiment with other fruits like orange juice instead of cranberry for a different flavor profile. Just make sure to balance the acidity and sweetness accordingly!
