Get the Party Started with these Christmas Morning Mimosas

The Perfect Opening Presents Beverage

Holiday Mimosa

In our house, Christmas morning has always been accompanied by a bottle of Homemade Baileys Irish Cream for the coffee and a pitcher of Mimosas. While the typical Mimosa is one part orange juice and one part sparkling wine, this Christmas Morning Mimosa adds a little seasonal flavour to make the perfect present opening beverage. Just remember that someone needs to get the turkey in the oven, so sip and savour!

Ingredients:

1 Bottle Prosecco

1 Bottle Orange Juice (the good kind with no pulp)

1 Bottle Cranberry Pomegranate Cocktail (or just plain Cranberry Cocktail will do)

1 Pitcher (the one you put fancy drinks in)

Directions:

  • Fill 1/2 of your pitcher with Prosecco, then 1/4 with orange juice and 1/4 with cranberry cocktail.
  • Stir gently and serve in champagne flutes or other fancy glasses.

Note: This will make approximately 2 pitchers, but feel free to alter the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste buds.
