Comforting around the fireplace with Christmas Morning Mimosas! A cranberry and pomegranate cocktail spiked with grand marnier, cinnamon simple syrup topped off with Prosecco and served in sugar-rimmed champagne glasses. Serves 8 (depending on glasses and serving sizes).

I know what I want Christmas Morning!

The moment this festive mimosa grace your tongue you’ll notice they are sweet, tart and bubbly with a flavor-packed warmth from kitchen-made cinnamon syrup. It’s Christmas in a glass, sparkling sugar rim and all!

Truth be told, you don’t have to enjoy a glass on Christmas Morning. Nope! Great with breakfast, brunch, appetizers and dessert – there are no rules when it’s Christmas.

To Make These Christmas Morning Mimosas Gather:

clementines
sparkling sugar
cranberries
pomegranate arils
pomegranate juice
cranberry juice
grand marnier
prosecco
cinnamon simple syrup

Wet the lip of champagne glasses with a clementine wedge before dipping into a small dish of sparkling sugar.

This adds a festive touch and looks only like ice or snow!

Into a pitcher add 2 cups cranberry juice.

Along with 2 cups pomegranate juice.

Next, add in 1-1/2 ounces of Grand Marnier.

Stir to combine.

Into the sugar rimmed glasses, drop in a slice of clementine and a few cranberry halves and pomegranate arils. These genuinely are for presentation purposes, but feel free to eat the clementine and pomegranate. I personally would NOT eat the raw cranberries.

Fill the glasses 3/4 of the way with the juice mixture and swirl in 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon simple syrup.

Grab the chilled Prosecco from the fridge and pop the cork (carefully).

Top off each glass with Prosecco.

Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

Serve.

Sip.

Be Merry.

And always, drink responsible.
