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:
Cranberry Sauce Topped Baked Brie
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

Oh this looks delicious! Indulging but still getting my vitamins in, sounds perfect 😉

It’s a health drink. That’s what I’m going to tell myself next Sunday brunch-) I love the cinnamon idea. The cranberry garnish is really nice too.

I love mimosas! I’ve never thought of putting cinnamon in them. Yummy!! Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome Elaine!
Perfect timing! I’ve got a whole bottle of leftover champagne!
Yup..It would be great with a nice brunch 🙂
Sipping on mimosas is a favorite addition to a brunch menu. Love how easy it is to turn a meal pretty and festive with an easy cocktail. I haven’t tried adding cinnamon. It sounds wonderful!!
Thanks!
