For more tasty fall cocktails, also try our apple bourbon smash or spiced cranberry hot toddy recipe. They’re easy as pie to make, too. We start by dipping a champagne glass in cinnamon sugar to give it a tasty rim. Then we pour in the apple cider and bourbon (or rum) and then top it with sparkling wine to make it all bubbly. We garnish the glass with a fresh apple slice, and that’s it! It’s the cinnamon sugar rim that really does it for us, though. It’s sweet with lots of cinnamon flavor and it looks elegant, too. Apple mimosas are a crowd-pleasing drink that look fancy without being fussy, and are perfect for cozy brunches or sipping by the fire.
Cinnamon sugar – we use our homemade cinnamon sugar blend. It’s easy to make your own by mixing one part cinnamon with four parts sugar. Apple cider – fresh apple cider is ideal, but unfiltered apple juice tastes great, too. Bourbon or spiced rum – bourbon has notes of caramel and vanilla, while spiced rum is sweeter with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Use your favorite or what you have on hand. Both add lots of flavor to this festive cocktail. Sparkling wine – brut works best for mimosas because it’s not overly sweet so it balances out the sweetness of the apple cider. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, use prosecco or cava. We recommend a mid-priced bottle of champagne; something we’d enjoy sipping on its own that won’t break the bank. Apple slices – for garnish.
