If you are looking for a last minute cocktail for your Thanksgiving table, I’ve got you covered. While these would be equally delicious for Christmas, I feel like the apples make it the perfect Thanksgiving drink. The sweetness of the apples and the tart cranberry juice make the perfect combination with bubbly champagne for a mimosa your guests will remember. We’re also adding just a sprinkle of cinnamon in there for some holiday spice for this Cranberry Apple Mimosa.

I’ve garnished these with a cinnamon stick, too, for a festive look. I know that this isn’t technically the proper glass for a mimosa, but I just love using these stemless wine glasses, there is so much room in them for extras.

Cranberry Apple Mimosa

To make this drink, you’ll need-

½ cup cranberry juice
¼ cup champagne (optional, if omitted, use sparkling cider and double the amount to ½ cup)
¼ cup apple cider
Sprinkle of cinnamon
2 apple slices
Handful of cranberries
Cinnamon sticks for garnish

Also, if you want to make this in a big pitcher, simply use 2 1/2 cups cranberry juice, 1 1/2 cups champagne, and 1 1/2 cups of apple cider. Then, add 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 whole apples, sliced, and even more cranberries and cinnamon sticks for garnish. Combine all of your ingredients, and chill overnight in the refrigerator.

To make just one drink, add apple slices and fresh cranberries to your glass, then add a few sprinkles of cinnamon. Pour in cranberry juice, apple cider, then champagne. Garnish with a cinnamon stick & enjoy.

This drink is the perfect blend of all those delicious, traditional Fall flavors. Apples, cranberries, and cinnamon. I just love using fresh cranberries in my cocktails, too. They make for such a nice presentation. If you freeze the cranberries beforehand, they can also keep your drink cool, without the need for ice.
