I love a Mimosa, and this is my favorite Mimosa Recipe!
A good Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe can cure all woes. That’s the best thing about Mimosas.
I love Mimosas. I love the simplicity. They’re the perfect way to celebrate, start a day, of just unwind. Nothing a little bubbly can’t fix. I also love Apple Cider! I’ve used it in two of my all-time favorite cocktails, Apple Pie Punch and Apple Pie Sangria. For some reason, I never considered blending the two! Once I first sipped this Apple Cider Mimosa I knew I had a new favorite simple cocktail recipe. We have been making it at Thanksgiving celebrations ever since!
Apple Cider Mimosas…the perfect cocktail!
How do you make an Apple Cider Mimosa?
You only need two ingredients to make these little beauties; CHAMPAGNE, and APPLE CIDER. It’s not rocket science. I can’t believe it took me so long to try it! Such a success. This is a new favorite! You can garnish the rim with caramel, sprinkles, cinnamon sugar, or anything you love. Such a fun and creative spin on the Classic Mimosa.
The holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, are such a busy time of year. Let’s make things easier with this Mimosa Recipe.
The next couple months are going to be SO busy. The holidays are a foodies best and busiest time of year. I can’t wait for all the celebrating, baking, family time, and let’s not forget EATING…but first, a cocktail. A delicious and simple cocktail. No better way to unwind than to pop some bubbly and pour over apple cider. Apple Cider Mimosas for the WIN!
What is the best champagne for mimosas?
Normally I will go with a mid-range champagne for mimosas; in the $15-$25 range. I hardly ever spend more than that. When making champagne cocktails you are mixing the champagne with juice or other alcohol so there’s no reason to splurge too much on just the champagne. A mid range version will do just fine.
If you have a favorite, always use that. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Some of our other mimosas are our Sherbet Mimosas, Moscow Mule Mimosas, and Tropical Mimosas.
This Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe is one of my very favorites on the site. I hope you enjoy and it graces your holiday tables with grace! We love to serve these fun mimosas with breakfast and brunch recipes such as Bacon Pancakes, Breakfast Pizza, Cheesy Breakfast Sliders, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole, and our Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake. The ultimate combo!!!

Katy
hi i would love to make this next wk for my sisters shower what is the measurements you used and how much should I make to make one big batch for like 25 guests?? Thank you!
Becky Hardin
Hey Katy!! This would be a great drink for a shower! Since it’s pretty much just champagne and apple cider, it should be super easy for a crowd! You’ll need probably 2 large jugs of cider and I would get 5-6 or so champagne bottles. Depending on your pour you will get about 4 glasses out of each bottle. You could make them heavy on the cider of course and use less champagne. But you could just have the glasses full of cider and then top with champagne when you’re ready to serve. Hope you love it, thanks so much for saying hi!!
Katy
Omg thank you so much!! Can you tell me what brands you used? Also, I had to tell you my maiden name is hardin!! ?
Becky Hardin
Oh cool, small world!!! You know, I don’t remember exactly what champagne brand I used. I tend to go with a middle tier brand. So not the cheapest, but maybe a step up from the cheapest :). Since you’re adding the juice it doesn’t have to be the best champagne ever. Pick a bottle you love (or a bottle that is the right color for your party!) and you’ll be good to go. Let me know how you like them!!
Ali
Isn’t that a bottle of Barefoot Bubbly in the photos?
Becky Hardin
It is! You can use whatever champagne you like best. I think Barefoot is a nice option that’s reasonably priced (not sponsored!)
Kristine Neuzil
Hi, if I wanted to serve this in a drink dispenser already mixed together do you think that would work?
Becky Hardin
It would be possible but it would lose some of its zip as the Champagne would fizzle. I definitely think it’s possible, but if you’re able to make them fresh they will be better and more bubbly. Hope you love them!
