Pomegranate Mimosa
I'm always wanting a mimosa! And this time of year, I'm wanting anything festive! This Pomegranate Mimosa was sweet, sour, and boozy! It really hit every texture and flavor! It was kinda pulpy, kinda crunchy with those pomegranate seeds in there - it went down super easy! This recipe was also extremely easy to make, no fancy tools required! This cocktail would be perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or really any other time! Mimosas are ALWAYS relevant! And don't be intimidated by Pomegranates! They are such an interesting, complex fruit! Totally worth the effort to retrieve the seeds from these bad boys!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups Champagne
- 1 Pomegranate
- 1 Orange
- 1 Lime
For garnish:
- 2 Rosemary Sprigs
- Granulated Sugar
- Orange Wheels
- Lime Wedges
- Pomegranate Seeds
Instructions
- Cut and remove seeds from the pomegranate. Reserve a handful for garnish and throw the rest in a bullet or blender. Blend until a frothy juice forms!
- Cut the lime in half, then cut two wedges for garnish. Juice and zest the rest of the lime into a mixing bowl or pitcher.
- Run the lime wedges along the rims of two stemless wine glasses. Next, shake some sugar out onto your cutting board or into a small dish and shimmy the glasses in it, to coat the rims.
- From the orange, cut two wheels for garnish and then zest and juice the rest into the bowl. Add the pomegranate juice to the bowl and whisk all fruit juices to combine.
- Divide the juice between the two glasses and top off with champagne.
- Garnish with orange wheel, lime wedge, reserved pomegranate seeds and rosemary sprig! Enjoy!
