Candy Cane Mimosa
I love a good mimosa. Combining juice and champagne was such a great idea, wasn’t it? For this recipe, we’re also adding a little bit of vodka to add the candy cane flavor.
Here Is What You’ll Need
- Champagne – there are lots of options to choose from here; just pick one you like. Traditionally, the best time of champagne for a mimosa is one that is labeled as “dry”.
- Vodka – Peppermint Twist is a seasonal vodka by Smirnoff that adds the perfect candy cane flavor.
- Cranberry Juice – again, just choose your favorite.
To decorate the rim:
- Candy Canes
- Vanilla/White Frosting
How To Make A Christmas Mimosa
First, crush a candy cane or two and spread it out on a plate.
Grab a glass and dip it in a bit of frosting, then into the candy cane to coat the rim.
Fill the glass with equal parts cranberry, vodka and champagne and stir gently.
Add a candy cane on top for garnish or to use as a stirrer.
How easy is that? The crushed candy cane rim is so simple but packs such a big punch. If you serve this at a party or a festive holiday dinner, people will love it, guaranteed.
