Pomegranate Mimosas

How to Make Pomegranate Mimosas?

Pomegranate mimosas are beautiful and a vivid red color. They are also perfect for any time of year and are the ultimate in bubbly drinks. The tart sweetness of pomegranates and champagne combine well for a refreshing drink. Consider making this for Christmas especially if you are the host, or in any summer party.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. or 2tbsp. pomegranate juice (fresh or bottled)
• 4 oz. or ½ cup of sparkling wine (champagne, prosecco or other)
• Rosemary sprigs
• 1 oz. or 2 tbsp. of Aperol or orange juice – optional
• Orange slices

Mixing the Cocktail:

• Ensure that the ingredients are chilled in advance.
• Add pomegranate juice and aperol/orange juice to a champagne flute.
• Tilt the flute slightly and pour in the chilled sparkling wine slowly.
• Garnish with an orange slice or rosemary.
• Don’t add ice to this cocktail as it dilutes the drink and alters the balance in the sparkling wine.
• Serve cold.

Pomegranate mimosas can be made in large quantities or individually. Tweak ingredients to suit individual tastes. For a more adventurous palate, try using apple cider or cranberry juice. Mimosa cocktails are easy to make and experiment with.
