The holidays are perfect for celebrations with loved ones and friends, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a festive holiday pomegranate mimosa!

Why You’ll Love This Mimosa

This festive sip is visually stunning, perfectly refreshing, and, best of all, easy to make! All it takes is a tiny bit of planning to create this beautiful pomegranate mimosa for the holidays. The frozen pomegranate juice gently flavors the champagne, while the fruit + rosemary make each glass look extra spirited. The vibrant colors of the pomegranate ice cubes and the aromatic touch of rosemary make such a pretty garnish, they are sure to impress whoever you make it for. It’s the perfect way to toast the season, I can’t wait to share my favorite recipe with you!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we jump into the steps, let’s go over the ingredients:

1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
6 sprigs fresh rosemary (removed from stem)
1/2 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)
3 cups of pomegranate juice

How to Make Pomegranate Mimosas:

Place 3 cranberries into each ice cube tray mold.
Distribute the rosemary leaves and pomegranate seeds evenly across two ice cube trays.
Pour the pomegranate juice into each mold, filling them about 3/4ths full.
Cover the trays and carefully transfer them to the freezer. Freeze overnight.
Take 2 frozen pomegranate ice cubes from the tray and place them into a champagne coupe (or a wine glass!) glass.
Pop your favorite champagne, pour over the ice cubes and enjoy!

Variations

Orange Mimosas: Add a splash of fresh-squeezed orange or grapefruit juice to your pomegranate juice for a sweet citrus taste. This is a great option if you want to add a little more sweetness!

Apple Cider Mimosas: For an apple cider spiced mimosa try substituting apple cider instead of pomegranate juice in your mimosa. Simply rim your glasses with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, then add apple cider to each glass. Top with chilled Champagne or Prosecco, and garnish with an apple slice for a tasty holiday cocktail!

Non-Alcoholic Version: For a family-friendly option, replace the champagne with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. This makes a delicious mocktail that the whole family can enjoy– it’s the perfect addition to a holiday brunch or other festive gatherings!

FAQs

Absolutely! While this pomegranate mimosa recipe shines with pomegranate juice, you can also add a splash of orange juice for more of a classic mimosa feel. Just remember to keep the ratio balanced to maintain that delicious mimosa flavor.

For a sparkling pomegranate mimosa, dry Prosecco or Spanish sparkling wine are excellent choices. They complement the pomegranate juice beautifully without overwhelming the flavors. If you’re feeling indulgent, a true Champagne also works well for an elegant drink.

For a sweeter version, add a little bit of fruit juice, such as orange juice or even cranberry juice, to your pomegranate juice. This will enhance the sweetness while still maintaining a good ratio of flavors.

Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary to add a pop of color and enhance the festive look of your cocktail. You can also rim the glass with sugar, for a little extra sparkle! To do this, run a slice of lime around the rim of the glass and dip it into a shallow dish filled with sugar.

This Pomegranate Mimosa is the perfect cocktail for any festive occasion or holiday celebration. It’s simple to prepare, beautifully presented, and tastes amazing! And the best part is that you can adjust it to your liking. I hope you enjoy this festive recipe as much as I do. Cheers to a wonderful holiday season filled with delicious drinks and cherished memories!
