Cranberry Mimosas are the perfect festive cocktail to elevate your holiday celebrations. This vibrant and refreshing drink combines the tartness of cranberry juice with the effervescence of sparkling wine, creating a beautiful balance of flavors that’s both sweet and crisp. Garnished with a sprig of rosemary and fresh cranberries, these mimosas are as visually stunning as they are delicious, making them an ideal addition to any brunch, party, or holiday toast.

Chill champagne flutes in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving. - Pour the cranberry juice:
Fill each champagne flute about 1/3 full with cranberry juice. - Add the sparkling wine:
Slowly pour the sparkling wine over the cranberry juice until the glass is nearly full. Be careful to pour gently to preserve the bubbles. - Garnish:

Tips:
- For an extra-special twist, rim the glasses with sugar. Dip the rim in water or cranberry juice, then coat with granulated sugar before pouring the drink.
- Swap half the cranberry juice for orange juice to create a cranberry-orange mimosa variation.
Cheers to a sparkling holiday season!
