Notes
*Champagne / Sparkling Wine Options: While some will say using a true French champagne is a must for a mimosa, it’s an expensive option. Sparkling wines are an excellent, and more cost effective, alternative. Prosecco, Cava, or Brut are popular choices for making mimosas.
*What's the best mimosa ratio? The perfect mimosa ratio is based on personal preference. If you’re new to mimosas, start with a 50/50 ratio and adjust from there. I prefer ⅓ juice to ⅔ champagne. My best friend does 99% champagne and 1% juice (you know, to give her drink a little color).
*Note: the nutrition facts for this recipe were calculated with 2oz of apple cider and 4oz champagne. The nutrition for your cocktail will change based on your ideal ratio of apple cider to champagne used.
