Cranberry Mimosa
I’m not sure if I have told you…but I love champagne. It’s one of my favorite things to drink. I celebrate with it, I end a week with it, I have it at a BYOB. Love it.
Sometimes I think you need to doll it up a bit though to drink it – there is nothing more festive than a Cranberry Mimosa. Don’t you just love the amazingness of the holiday season?
I have a list of reasons that a Cranberry Mimosa is my favorite to serve and drink at Christmas time. 1 – it’s not just for Christmas no matter what I just said. It makes a fantastic brunch drink, great for a shower of any kind – it really is versatile. 2 – it’s a cheap way to serve up the champagne! 3 – even my husband will drink it with me and he’s not always big on a glass of champs.
So I always keep a little cranberry around in case I want to pop the cork (oh that lovely sound) and have a glass. He will join me if I make it a Cranberry Mimosa!
Some people may call this drink a Poinsettia. That’s fine! I, to keep it simple, just call it a Cranberry Mimosa – but whatever you call it – just enjoy it!

Hi! This looks so good and pretty easy. I do not drink much so I like that you mentioned it would be good for someone like me. 🙂 I was wondering if I could feature you in a ‘Christmas Party Drinks’ round-up on my Tips & Trickslinky party tomorrow on my blog (Gina’s Craft Corner)? I would include the picture and a link to your page. Just let me know. 🙂

Gina please do (include it I mean!) Yes, this is a great drink for people who don’t drink much because it’s only half champagne 🙂 So not even a full glass! Enjoy – I love it!
I love this … simple yet perfect to share with friends a wonderful Christmas Eve! Thank you for saving my get together.
So festive! I might try a non-alcoholic version. Very inspiring!
This is a great idea! Very festive and looks very tasty as well!
Would using pink champagne (sparkling wine) change the flavor?
It would probably just be a little sweeter (which isn’t a bad thing!)
Hello,
I am working on setting up an online boutique. I am in the process of writing some blogs that my audience would be interested in. The blog I am writing is called “10 Holiday Libation Ideas for Your Christmas Party.” I would love to feature one of your images in my blog (the Cranberry Mimosa). May I have permission to do so? Thank you for your consideration.
Lindsey
Lindsey – that would be awesome – just please link back to us for the recipe 🙂
Of course! 🙂 Thank you so much!
