Apple Cider Mimosas

When it is fall, one should use in season juice in your mimosa. So, naturally, I am making my favorite weekend brunch cocktail, mimosas, apple cider style. I am loving these apple cider mimosas.

Now the question I always get for any mimosa is, “What kind of champagne should I buy for the mimosas?” I get texts from friends staring at the wall of bubbly in the grocery store. My laundry list of tips…

1. Buy extra dry bubbly. DO NOT BUY BRUT. Brut is even more dry than extra dry. You won’t like mimosas if you buy brut anything.
2. Buy Prosecco. I like the Italian version of bubbly best in mimosas.
3. That’s all my rules. If you only follow one rule, follow number one.

Does price matter? Well, sort of but don’t go broke at brunch. I normally buy bottles around $10 a bottle. I have never bought a Two Buck Chuck version of champagne. Nor do I know if one exists. Just buy what your grocery store or liquor store carries. Heck, even Wal-Mart has Korbel.

Back to the apple cider mimosas….

Now, I like stiff drinks, even at breakfast. When I make a mimosa I do three parts bubbly to one part juice. But here is the thing about mimosas, make them how you like them. Not sure how  you like them? Start with 1 part bubbly to two parts juice. You can always add more Prosecco if you want it a bit stronger.

For apple cider mimosas, I use regular old apple cider from the produce section. Out of season, The Simply line of juices in the refrigerator section also has a good apple cider. Not crazy about cider but like apple juice, this works too. Who wouldn’t love spiked apple juice?
