Ingredients

Champagne – Any type of dry (Brut) champagne will work well for this recipe. OR if you like your drinks a little sweeter, feel free to use your favorite type of champagne.

Apple juice – My favorite juice to use for apple cocktails is unfiltered apple juice. You can substitute apple cider or anything you have on hand.

Apple liqueur – There are a few different types of apple liqueur available at most liquor stores.

How to make an Apple Cider Mimosa

Start with chilled ingredients – Since mimosas are made without ice, it’s important to start with chilled ingredients. I would suggest refrigerating the champagne and juice for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight.

Combine the apple juice & apple liqueur – In a champagne flute, combine the apple liqueur and chilled apple juice.

Top with champagne – Add chilled champagne to fill the glass.

Garnish & enjoy – Garnish with a thin apple slice and enjoy!
