3 Refreshing Mimosas to Serve on Christmas Morning

After Santa has come and gone and all the presents have been unwrapped, it’s time to fuel up for a joyous Christmas day.

If you host a yearly Christmas brunch, whether it’s just for immediate family or you’re welcoming a house full of friends, some festive libations are in order. We love to pair the classic Mimosa with a morning meal, but the old school mix of orange juice and sparkling wine can be a bit boring. Whip up one of these fun variations instead to toast the holiday season.

Whiskey fans will love this boozier take on the classic Mimosa from Korbel, which incorporates Jack Daniel’s into the mix. Pair it with a hearty meal so you don’t get too tipsy early in the day.

Mandarin Mimosa

• 3 oz orange juice
• 3 oz sparkling wine

Preparation: In the order listed, combine all ingredients in a champagne flute. Garnish with a lemon peel.
