🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let's make the rosemary simple syrup. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for at least 30 minutes, or even longer for a stronger rosemary flavor. Remove rosemary sprigs before using.
- Next, prepare your cranberry juice. If using fresh cranberries, you'll need to make a juice. You could try blending or juicing them. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if needed, to remove any pulp. If using store-bought, chill it before use.
- Now for the fun part – assembling your mimosas! Fill each champagne flute about 1/3 full with chilled cranberry juice. Add 1 ounce (or to taste) of rosemary simple syrup to each glass, then top with chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Give it a gentle stir if desired.
- Finally, garnish each mimosa with a fresh rosemary sprig. Add a lime wedge if you like a hint of citrus. Enjoy responsibly!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of rosemary simple syrup to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter mimosa, add more syrup. If you prefer a tarter mimosa, add less syrup.
- Make sure to use high-quality champagne or sparkling wine for the best results.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the champagne with sparkling cider or sparkling grape juice. It'll still be scrumptious!
- I like to add a little orange zest to mine sometimes for extra zing!
