Serve this seasonal mimosa for brunch, as a way to kick off Thanksgiving morning or for a simple dinner cocktail made with just a few fall ingredients. One of the appeals of a mimosa is that it’s made with simple ingredients. I add a cinnamon sugar and caramel rim for an added garnish and flavor. Because its combined with the added juice, I recommend using a middle of the road champagne brand rather than an expensive bottle. Save that for drinking on its own. Once you open a bottle of champagne it’s hard to save it without it going flat, so I provide instructions for a pitcher for serving a group as well.
In a small shallow bowl combine the sugar and the ground cinnamon.
Add the caramel to another small bowl. Dip the rim of a champagne or coupe glass in the caramel then dip in the cinnamon sugar.
Fill the glass with champagne and top with about 2 ounces of the apple cider. Garnish with a slice of apple and serve.
Champagne glasses are tall and skinny while coupe glasses have a wide mouth. Champagne is better served in the tall skinny glasses since the bubbles evaporate faster in the wide mouth glasses and the drink goes flat.
Chill champagne and open just before serving. Add the champagne and apple cider to a pitcher and stir to combine. Rim individual glasses then simply pour and serve.
