Cranberry Orange Mimosa, a twist on the classic celebration drink that adds the holiday flavor of cranberry to the orange & champagne mix.
Are you ready for the holidays? I think it is going to be a different kind of year, but there is still a lot for us all to be thankful for and to celebrate.
But since we are going low key this year and I know a lot of people are too, I decided that a simple holiday cocktail was in order. This one is quick to make and a delicious twist on a classic.

The mimosa has been around for a good long time. It is a favorite for a lot of people and works well for large parties or small gatherings.
But I think you’ll love this cranberry twist so much that you may never have the original version again. It adds the perfect amount of tart with that sweet orange juice and sparkling wine.

Here are some commonly asked questions
What is the best way to store leftover mimosas?
Once the champagne, sparkling wine or sparkling cider has been added to the mixture, this drink doesn’t keep well and will need to be discarded, unfortunately.
I recommend only making what you will have at the time with the per-glass recipe unless you want to combine the cranberry and orange juices in the pitcher and refrigerate.
Then you could add the sparkling wine when serving.

Can this be made non-alcoholic?
You bet. Please see the recipe below. You can use sparkling cider instead of champagne or sparkling wine. You can also use sparkling juice or ginger ale if desired.

Can I use sugar-free juice?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But I would imagine that if you already drink sugar-free juice, then you like the flavor of that and it should be fine.
However- I have heard that there are sugar-free versions of champagne, sparkling wine or sparkling cider available. You’ll have to see what you can find available in your area.
