For A Crowd
Combine the sparkling wine, orange juice, cranberry juice, and fresh cranberries in a large pitcher. Pour into champagne flutes as needed.
Notes
There are many kinds of sparkling wine. I often opt for Italian Prosecco in a mimosa because it’s more affordable than traditional French Champagne— but still just as delicious.
I recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice, although bottled will work as well.
It is important to use pure cranberry juice, not cranberry juice cocktail. Pure cranberry juice has a more tart, berry flavor while cranberry juice cocktail is very sweet and fruity.
Make sure to chill the sparkling wine, orange juice, and cranberry juice before making your cocktail. Mimosas should be served chilled, but not with ice.
I do not recommend making mimosa more than 15 minutes before serving as the sparkling wine will start to flatten (lose its bubbles) immediately once opened.
