Apple Cider Mimosa

Ever heard of an Apple Cider Mimosa? Don’t knock it before you try it, this is a super refreshing cocktail is 2/3 apple cider, 1/3 sparkling wine but you can modify it to your taste preference. The Sparkling wine adds a refreshing spritz to your cocktail and is built for pumpkin spice junkies and apple picking influencers alike. I like to use a Cava for my Apple Cider Mimosa, specifically Poema Cava Brut. I find that the Cava offers a crisper acidity than a classic champagne, and well… the price is right. Get your ‘mosa on and try this treat today. I guarantee you’ll like it enough to make for Thanksgiving next week.

Cocktail Recipe

2/3 a cup of Apple Cider, 1/3 a cup of Poema Cava Brut, sliced apples and a cinnamon sugar rim to garnish.

Wine Tasting Notes

Refreshing sweetness, bright apples, vibrant acidity and the linger of spice on the finish.
