If you’re a fan of the classic mimosa, then you’ll definitely love this festive take on the bubbly brunch favorite. My biggest tip is to use high quality prosecco or champagne to get the best flavor. If you wouldn’t drink it on it’s own, then don’t use it for the mimosa! We mix apple butter with the apple cider to sweeten the cocktail a little more, but maple syrup would also do the trick.
The brown sugar + pumpkin pie spiced rim adds additional depth to the drink and you’re friends will wonder where the warm hints are coming from…and it’s not the booze. Full proportions are below, but feel free to adjust based on your personal preference.
Before I forget, we thinly sliced some apple as a garnish, but with the brown sugar rim, this is absolutely unnecessary. If you have dried apple chips, those would also make a gorgeous garnish to this already stunning drink.
