Cranberry Mimosas are perfect to tickle your taste buds during the holidays.
Whenever I host brunch, mimosas are almost always on the menu.
And serving a delicious Cranberry Mimosa is definitely on the menu during the winter when I can easily find fresh cranberries at the store.
Cranberry Mimosas are perfect to serve for parties
Cranberry mimosas are not only beautiful and festive, they taste refreshing too.
I also enjoy the simplicity of making them. I can even make part of the drink ahead of time.
When you mix your cranberry juice with triple sec, or another orange liqueur like Cointreau, the flavors really compliment each other.
After all, one of the most delicious breakfast muffins to serve is a cranberry orange muffin.
So if those are on the menu, you definitely want to serve this mimosa recipe.
And since the drink adds a bit of triple sec and champagne with your cranberry juice, I certainly won’t tell if you decide to add a touch of tequila.
Why not make it a cranberry mimosa margarita!
If you are serving cranberry mimosas as part of a mimosa bar, you may pre-mix your cranberry juice cocktail and triple sec ahead of time in a carafe or pitcher.
Then serve it along with your other juices and mixes with your bottles of champagne.
You will also want to put out a bowl of fresh cranberries and a bowl for fresh rosemary sprigs.
Ingredients to make a Cranberry Mimosa
Makes 1 drink.
This drink recipe may be easily multiplied if you would like to serve it by the pitcher.
- 3-4 oz Cranberry Juice Cocktail, we used Simply Cranberry
- 1/2 oz Triple Sec
- 1-2 oz Champagne
- Fresh Cranberries, for garnish
- Fresh Rosemary, for garnish

If you would like to serve the drink without alcohol, you may substitute sparkling white grape juice for the champagne.
You may also substitute 1/2 tsp of orange flavored simple syrup for the triple sec.
How to Make a Cranberry Mimosa
Pre-Steps:
Chill the cranberry juice and champagne ahead of time.
Making the drink:
Add 3-4 oz of chilled cranberry juice to your champagne flute.
Add a splash of triple sec or other orange liqueur.
Top with champagne.

Notes: If you would like to serve it as a cranberry mimosa margarita, add a shot of tequila and a splash of lime juice prior to adding the champagne.
If you are making the drink ahead of time, you may pre-mix your cranberry juice and triple sec.
You will want to add the champagne and garnishes when you serve the beverage.
Can I enjoy a cranberry mimosa without alcohol?
Yes, there’s an easy substitute to enjoy a non-alcoholic mimosa.
Simply substitute the champagne with sparkling white grape juice.
It’s easy to find in most grocery stores and the taste and appearance will be close.
You’ll still get nice of bubbly fizzing too!
Since we’ve added a splash of triple sec or Cointreau to the drink, you can either leave that out.
Or you may substitute a quarter teaspoon of orange flavored simple syrup.
