Print Recipe

A quick and festive fall mimosa made with apple cider, dry champagne or prosecco, and a cinnamon-sugar rim. Ready in under 5 minutes, it’s perfect for holiday brunches and cozy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider (fresh, unfiltered)
  • 1/2 cup chilled champagne or prosecco (dry brut)
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Thin apple slices and cinnamon sticks (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture: In a small shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir with a fork until evenly mixed.
  2. Rim the glasses: Pour 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup onto another small dish. Dip the rim of a champagne flute into the honey, rotating gently to coat the entire edge. Let excess drip off, then dip the rim into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Twist gently to ensure even coverage. Tap off any loose sugar.
  3. Add the apple cider: Pour 1/2 cup of chilled apple cider into each prepared glass. Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the cinnamon rim.
  4. Top with champagne or prosecco: Slowly pour 1/2 cup of chilled champagne or prosecco into the glass, aiming for the center to preserve the bubbles. Pour gently to avoid overflowing.
  5. Add the garnish: Drop in a thin apple slice and a cinnamon stick for garnish.
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy right away while the bubbles are lively and the rim is crisp.

Notes

Chill all ingredients and glasses beforehand for best results. Use a dry brut sparkling wine to balance sweetness. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling apple cider or ginger ale. The cinnamon sugar mixture can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.
