Easy Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe

My Easy Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe is the best fall cocktail around. With just two main ingredients, this apple cider mimosa is a must-try fall drink to indulge in this autumn season. 

Easy Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe

It’s Thirsty Thursday here at the lake and I’m coming to you with the most delicious fall cocktail you’ll ever try, my friend! My Easy Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe is made using just two ingredients: apple cider and either sparkling wine, champagne, or Prosecco. But because we’re fancy around here, I took it up a notch and added a caramel and cinnamon sugar rim too! 

Last week, I shared with you the process of making my warm apple cider recipe in a crockpot. Then I took that recipe and spiked it with a little Fireball whiskey…because, well, why not! Apple cider drinks for fall are where it’s at, my dear. This week, I took some of that leftover apple cider, sans the whiskey, and repurposed it into an absolutely delicious apple cider mimosa recipe. It’s really so stinking good!

I have a thing for mimosas if I’m being honest. I just love them! I’ve shared a couple of mimosa recipes on the blog already but never one that was strictly fall-related. And since I had that extra apple cider I mentioned, I thought now was the perfect timing to try and create one that was perfect for the autumn season.

When it comes to fall flavors, I’m a huge fan of anything apple and cinnamon. Not that I don’t enjoy a good dose of pumpkin (I’ve shared recipes for pumpkin squares, pumpkin lattes, and even pumpkin muffins), but my personal preference leans more towards apples and spices in the fall. 

What team are you on? Are you Team Apples or Team Pumpkin? Or maybe you’re a little bit of both like I am. 

This apple cider mimosa is literally every fall flavor I love in one glass. If I take a sip of it with my eyes closed, I can almost envision myself picking barrels of apples at an orchard somewhere up in Tennessee. Maybe that’s a little overkill, but I’m telling you this caramel apple cider mimosa gives me all the fall feels. 

After giving this apple cider mimosa a try, I can guarantee you’ll be wanting to sip on one of them every single Sunday this fall moving forward. And if you’re planning on hosting a brunch at all this autumn season, you’ll definitely want to have these as your fall cocktail. 

If you’re already thinking ahead to Thanksgiving, I definitely suggest having one of these on hand in the morning while finishing up your dinner prep for Turkey Day. Don’t worry, you can thank me for the suggestions later!

Easy Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe

You’ll need: Apple cider, Prosecco, sparkling wine, or champagne 

  • Optional but highly recommended for garnish: caramel sauce, 2 tbsp of sugar, ¼ tsp cinnamon, apple slices

If you’re going to rim your champagne flutes, start by mixing your sugar and cinnamon together on a small plate.

Next, add your caramel syrup on another plate and dip the top of your champagne flute inside of it.

Make sure you get caramel sauce completely around the entire circumference of the rim of your champagne flute.

Roll the rim of the champagne flute through the cinnamon and sugar mixture until you have coated it all.

Doesn’t it look delicious and beautiful all at the same time?! I could jump through my computer right now!

Pour as little or as much apple cider into your champagne flute as you would like. For a stronger drink, add less apple cider and more alcohol. My personal preference is to fill my glass about ¼ of the way up with apple cider.

Carefully fill the rest of your glass with Prosecco, sparkling wine, or champagne.

I decided to be ultra fancy and added an apple slice to the party as a garnish but that is totally optional. I love the way it fizzes when you drop it in your champagne flute. What can I say, the littlest things amuse me!

Although I’m partial to the flavor of cinnamon, I know some people are not. Instead of rimming your champagne flutes the way I suggested above, try dipping your caramel rimmed glass into brown sugar instead. It’s equally as yummy and delicious!

This easy apple cider mimosa recipe is hands down one of my favorite Thirsty Thursday recipes thus far. If you’re looking for a fall drink that will knock your socks off, this is the fall cocktail for you.

Our kitchen got a little extra love in the form of some Valentine’s Day dish towels and pretty pink flowers. Simple, cheap, and definitely worth the effort to add a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your kitchen space.💗❤️💗❤️
.
On a different note, what’s for dinner in your house tonight? I’m racking my brain trying to think of something. Help!!🤣

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

You know how much I love you all, right?! Enough to embarrass the heck out of myself in a SPORTS BRA in my stories for you. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Many of you wanted a review and try-on of my recent Amazon workout purchase so that’s what I did for ya...very awkwardly.🤣
.
Head to my stories for my honest opinions along with all the details for the items I purchased. I also linked everything in @liketoknow.it so you can easily shop if you see something you fancy. The link is in my bio.🙌🏼

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰
