minutesApple cider mimosas are the perfect fall twist on the classic celebratory drink. Spice up your next special occasion (or even a fall-time brunch) with this simple two-ingredient combination that is a match made in autumn heaven. Spiced cider pairs wonderfully with refreshing and crisp champagne. We augmented the flavor with an apple-pie-spiced sugar rim for a decorative and extra tasty seasonal touch. We then garnished each bubbly cocktail with a cinnamon stick and fresh apple slice. Each sip tastes like fall at its best and is the perfect way to say “Cheers!” at your next autumn gathering.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Organic, Fair Trade Cane Sugar
1 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Apple Pie Spice
1 small red sweet apple
4 Frontier Co-op® Regenerative Organic Certified® Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks
1 bottle champagne
2 cups pasteurized apple cider, chilled
Directions
- On a small rimmed plate, gently whisk together cane sugar and apple pie spice. Spread out mixture so the edge is bigger in diameter than the rim of your glass. Set aside.
- Dip the rim of each glass in a shallow bowl of water or apple cider. Or rub an apple slice along the rim. Dip glass rim in sugar-spice mixture until rim is fully coated. Repeat with all four glasses.
- Just before serving, cut four thin apple slices and place one at the bottom of each glass along with a cinnamon stick. Tuck cinnamon stick under apple slice so it doesn’t float to the top.
- Into each glass, pour champagne until bubbles have settled and glass is half way full. Add apple cider until glass is full. Enjoy immediately.
