These Apple Cranberry Kombucha Mimosas are full of holiday flavors and the kombucha adds a delicious extra kick! These are great for Christmas or New Years brunch!
Now that Thanksgiving is over, the main focus can be on Christmas! Christmas recipes are usually a little more elegant than Thanksgiving, and with elegance comes mimosas! I love a traditional orange juice mimosa, but when you add flavored kombucha it really takes them to the next level! I think you all are going to love these Apple Cranberry Kombucha Mimosas!
If you’ve followed me for a while you know that I don’t post many cocktail recipes. My go-to drink is a glass of crisp white wine but when it comes to fancy looking holiday drinks, mimosas are a must! Today I’m turning up the traditional mimosa recipe by adding some tart kombucha flavors!
Apple and Cranberry Kombucha Mimosa Recipe Ingredients
- Champagne – Traditional mimosas are made with champagne. As you can see from the photo above, I used prosecco instead. The main difference between champagne and prosecco is the region in which it is made. Both are nice and bubbly and either will work!
- Cranberry Flavored Kombucha – You don’t have to use the same brand of kombucha that I used. You should be able to find cranberry and apple flavored kombucha at most stores. You could also sub in pomegranate instead of cranberry.
- Apple Flavored Kombucha – I love the apple flavored kombucha because it really reminds me of fall. The flavor goes so well with the cranberry!
- Optional Mimosa Garnishes – I use some fresh thyme leaves because they’re festive looking and they were all I had on hand, haha! You could also garnish with fresh cranberries, apple slices, fresh rosemary or mint, or even some pomegranate seeds.
How To Make The Best Holiday Mimosas
I didn’t add any measurements to the recipe below because I feel like most people use eye-ball their mimosa ingredients. But, here is how I make mine!
*Mimosas taste best when all ingredients have been chilled beforehand!
- Start by filling your glass about half full with the champagne. As you can see I did not use traditional champagne glasses, but anything will work!
- Next, fill the remaining half of the glass with an equal amount of the apple and cranberry kombucha. If you prefer one flavor more than the other you can always use more of that one.
- Make your mimosa extra special by adding some festive garnishes: fresh thyme, rosemary or mint leaves, fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds, apple slices, etc…
Mimosa Recipe Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between champagne and prosecco? The main difference is just the region in which they are made. You can only call something champagne if it was made in the region of Champagne, France. Prosecco is mostly made in the Veneto region of Italy.
- How strong should I make my mimosas? That is completely up to you and the people you are making them for! I prefer to go a little heavier on the champagne but you can also add just a splash!
- Should I put ice in my mimosa? It’s best when all ingredients are chilled prior to making your mimosas so you don’t have to use ice, but if you want yours extra cold you can definitely put some ice in!
- Can I make a pitcher full of these mimosas? Of course! I would start by adding the entire bottle of champagne to a pitcher and then adding in the kombucha, to taste.
