Ingredients
  

Apple cider mimosas
  • 2 cup apple cider Chilled
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) champagne or prosecco Chilled
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 apple Thinly sliced
  • 1 cinnamon sticks for garnish

Method
 

Make cinnamon sugar rims
  1. Mix the sugar and ground cinnamon on a small plate.
  2. Wet the rims of the flutes with apple cider, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar so the coating sticks.
Build the mimosas
  1. Fill each flute one third full with the chilled apple cider.
  2. Top each flute with chilled champagne or prosecco.
Garnish and serve
  1. Garnish each flute with a thin apple slice and a cinnamon stick, then serve immediately.

Notes

For the best ring adhesion, keep the apple cider and champagne/prosecco fully chilled and dip right after wetting the rim. Serve within 10–15 minutes for the brightest carbonation; refrigerate any leftover cider mixture (no champagne) up to 24 hours and add fresh champagne to serve again. Freezing is not recommended for mimosas. For a lighter option, use a dry brut prosecco and reduce sugar in the rim to 1 tablespoon.
