Hard Cider Mimosas

Hard ciders are already fantastic as-is, but sometimes you just need a little bit of oomph to your drink. This is a super easy way to get a little creative while still getting a really tasty and refreshing drink in on a sunny afternoon (spring is here, folks – it’s day drinking season!). The best hard ciders literally taste like you’re eating an apple, and they get you drunk, so it’s a win-win. Plus, you can add slices of your favorite apples to your mimosa, so it’s an even bigger win.

Kitchen Tips:

• Utilize mise en place! Make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin making this recipe – it will help save you time and keep you organized.
• How to easily pop champagne inside: If your sparkling wine of choice has a cork top, an easy way to open it without sending the cork flying and champagne spraying is to hold a dish towel over the top of the cork and slowly twist it off.
