This Pomegranate Mimosa is the jewel-hued sister to the classic breakfast beverage. Tart, bubbly, and perfect for celebrating!
A Beverage To Celebrate With
Mimosas are my favorite. Truly, genuinely, and 100%. There’s something about them that make a moment feel special. However, my ratio for the perfect mimosa is akin to the recent viral video that shows someone spritzing orange juice from a spray bottle over a glass of champagne. “Just 5 drapes of orange juice, please”, is typically how I order my mimosas.
But, with the holidays approaching, I want a festive mimosa that feels a little *elevated*. That said, may I present the Pomegranate Mimosa!
How To Make A Pomegranate Mimosa
Now let’s just pause and collectively chuckle, shall we? The ingredients for a pomegranate mimosa seem slightly obvious and not at all complex, but the return in the flavor department is wild.
With a traditional mimosa, orange juice serves as the second ingredient next to sparkling wine. However, orange juice ranges in sugar content, additives, and consistency (i.e. the amount of pulp it contains). In contrast, pomegranate juice, so long as you’re getting 100% pure, is total concentrated pomegranate flavor. Without anything added, the juice is almost syrupy it’s so sweet.
In this recipe, we’re using a small amount of pomegranate juice compared to the Prosecco, but as I’ve previously mentioned…everyone has their perfect mimosa ratio. Add as little or as much juice as you like in comparison to the bubbles! It’s your world!
Sip, Sip, Hooray!
Let these Pomegranate Mimosas help celebrate your next big moment. Whether it’s a holiday, a gathering of friends, a promotion, or simply the fact that you made it through another week in 2020: congrats to YOU. Cheers!
