How to Make Apple Cider Mimosas
Whether you’re making a single drink or a big batch these mimosas are a delicious way to celebrate fall and they also happen to be incredibly easy to make. We’re going to start with a cinnamon sugar rim, not only does this make your drink pretty the sweet rim enhances the flavor of the fresh apple cider. For the cinnamon sugar rim stir together cinnamon and sugar in a small flat dish. Cut a small slit in a lemon wedge and run it around the rim of a champagne glass, then immediately roll the edge of the glass in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
For a single cocktail Add 2 oz of apple cider to a prepared champagne flute and top with prosecco. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a thin slice of apple for an extra festive drink. If you’re making a pitcher for a group ( which will make 8 servings). Add 2 cups of apple cider to a pitcher and top with 2 bottles of prosecco or sparkling wine, garnish the pitcher with thin apple slices ( if you make a pitcher ahead of time you can store it in the fridge before serving). Divide among 8 glasses and serve as desired.

This was DELICIOUS!!! It was the perfect ratio of apple cider to prosecco. On the second one I added 1/2 oz Smirnoff caramel vodka and it was also DELICIOUS! Highly recommend a little caramel vodka. I used Spiced Cider from Aldi.
