Cranberry Mimosa Drink Recipe

I have heard a cranberry mimosa called the poinsettia drink or poinsettia mimosa. Supposedly this is due to the color of the cocktails, but since a poinsettia is poisonous and would never be used even as a garnish, I think this is one where the poetic license is liberally involved.

Tips and variations for making this Cranberry Mimosa Drink Recipe:

● This drink cannot be made in advance as the champagne or sparkling wine will fall flat.
● The sugared cranberries can however, be made days in advance.
● Step 1-3 can also be prepped in advance. Just add the champagne or sparkling wine as guests arrive.
● You do not have to chill your glasses but you may enjoy a colder cocktail. The sugar is not going to stick to a very cold glass, so this is a better idea if you do not plan on rimming your cranberry mimosa glass.
● Wet for the rimming can be: water, cranberry juice, triple sec, or even champagne or sparkling wine.
● Triple Sec, Orange Curaçao, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, whichever orange liquor you choose based upon your tastebuds will work.
● If you do not like cranberry juice, substitute a cranberry-juice-drink (you can even go diet).
● If you would like to rim the glass with sugar, it will add more sweetness to this beverage. Use the cranberry vodka for the liquid, sugar for the dry.
● Serve with a side of sugared cranberries!
