This is the mimosa you make when orange juice feels aggressively boring. Dry prosecco, crisp white cranberry juice, and a sugared rim make it festive with almost no effort.

EQUIPMENT (PAID LINKS)

  • Champagne flute
  • Small shallow bowl
  • Second shallow bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons clear sanding sugar optional
  • 4 ounces prosecco or other dry sparkling wine
  • 2 ounces white cranberry juice
  • 1 small fresh rosemary sprig optional
  • 1 tablespoon whole cranberries optional

Instructions

  • Sugar the Rim: Pour the water into one shallow bowl and the sanding sugar into another. Dip the rim of a champagne flute into the water, then into the sugar, turning gently so it coats evenly.
    1 tablespoon water, 2 tablespoons clear sanding sugar optional
  • Add the Bubbles: Slowly pour the prosecco into the prepared glass, tilting slightly to keep it lively instead of explosive.
    4 ounces prosecco or other dry sparkling wine
  • Top with Juice: Add the white cranberry juice, adjusting slightly if you like it drier or sweeter.
    2 ounces white cranberry juice
  • Garnish and Serve: Finish with a small sprig of rosemary and a few whole cranberries if using, then serve immediately while it’s cold and bubbly.
