Frequently Asked Questions:
I like using a mid-range champagne, or even a Prosecco for a cheaper option.
Yes, and very easily too! Simply just swap out the Champagne or Prosecco for sparkling white grape juice.
I wouldn’t recommend it since the champagne or sparkling juice will go flat. Luckily, you can throw these drinks together in a matter of seconds!
The perfect ratio of juice to champage is really up to you. Classic mimosa recipes typically use a 1:1 ratio. In this apple cider mimosa, we use a 2:1 ratio of cider to wine. You can always experiment and use whatever tastes best to you!
I wouldn’t recommend it. Apple cider and apple juice have highly different tastes and apple cider works best in this recipe.
