So cheers 🎉 my friends to another year here at AFCJ and the perfect way to celebrate is with a classic Mimosa.

And this drink is a great choice for sooo many reasons….

Mimosas are….

• Light, flavorful & easy to prepare

• Are made with a sparkling wine so perfect for celebrations

• Can be made with only 2 ingredients or…

• Garnished with cranberries & cinnamon sticks

And if you’ve never had a Mimosa then I think you’ll want to try this just for the flavor and the ease of preparing.

Since I’m sure after a busy Holiday season you could really appreciate a New Years Eve that’s relaxing and includes a couple light drinks and appetizers .

Yesss please… my kinda evening 😉

So whether you celebrate big or just stay in for the night these Mimosas with cinnamon sticks & cranberries could be just what you’re looking for.

Tips for making the perfect drink:

Chill your sparkling wine or champagne prior to making Mimosas

Use a good quality orange juice or even fresh squeezed

Pour the bubbly in the glasses first before adding juice

Appetizers you can serve for New Years or Entertaining:

Warm Creamy Spinach Dip

Whipped Feta Cheese Pesto Dip

Easy Classic Cheese Ball

Cranberry Sauce Topped Baked Brie

Maple Cinnamon Roasted Pecans 

Lovely serving platter used for the drinks was a nice Christmas gift this year (2016) from my daughter Sam… and my grandson Brenden was so super excited to give it to me.. XXOO ❤

CHEERS 🥂

Hope you all have a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉!!!

Until next time- xoxo
