Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 6 oz ¾ cup chilled cranberry juice
  • 3 oz ⅜ cup chilled orange juice
  • 18 oz 2¼ cups chilled dry sparkling wine
  • 12 fresh cranberries optional garnish
  • 6 small fresh rosemary sprigs optional garnish
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar optional glass rim
  • 1 tsp water optional, to help sugar adhere

Method
 

  1. Instructions
  2. Chill the cranberry juice, orange juice, and sparkling wine.
  3. If using a sugar rim, pour the sugar onto a small plate. Lightly moisten the outside edge of each glass with water and dip the rim into the sugar.
  4. Pour 1 oz cranberry juice and ½ oz orange juice into each of six glasses.
  5. Slowly top each glass with 3 oz sparkling wine.
  6. Garnish with two cranberries and one small rosemary sprig, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pure cranberry juice produces a tart drink; cranberry juice cocktail usually makes a sweeter one.
  • Use dry sparkling wine for a less-sweet result, and pour it gently to preserve the bubbles.
  • For a mocktail, replace the sparkling wine with chilled sparkling water or nonalcoholic sparkling wine.
  • For a pitcher, combine the juices ahead of time and add the sparkling wine just before serving.
  • Keep leftover juice covered and refrigerated. Fully mixed mimosas are best served immediately.
