This holiday season kick the fun up a notch and make a Cranberry Mimosa for everyone.
Bubbles are great any time of year, but there is something about bubbles that put a smile on people's faces. And this year, that is something we all need.
Bubbles make an ordinary occasion special and are a simple way to make an otherwise humdrum drink sparkle.
And that is something to celebrate.
Cheers to the season and the little things in life. We all have a lot to celebrate.

Ingredients
Cranberry and orange were kind of made for each other. Add some Prosecco and you have a party in a glass.
- Sweetened Cranberry Juice

Instructions
Mimosas have to be one of the easiest drinks to make and we love the seasonal twist.
Step 1: Add cranberry juice to champagne flute.
Step 2: Add orange liqueur.
Step 3: Top with Prosecco.
Step 4: Garnish and serve immediately.
FAQs
The short answer is the regions where the grapes are grown. Champagne comes from a region in France, Prosecco from Italy and Sparkling wine from every where else in the world.
WeIt’s typically less expensive than Champagne making it more cost-effective when you need to buy several bottles of sparkling wine for your guests.
Prosecco often has a lighter, fruitier flavor than Champagne and easily mixes with ingredients like fruit juices and other liquors. love to use Prosecco for a few reasons.
Attention to little details shows you care. Add a couple of fresh cranberries and a twist of orange peel for garnish, and you have the fanciest simple cocktail in town.
Why doesn't my drink look like the pictures?
You will notice that some of these images have drinks that are more orange in color and some that are a deeper pink. It all comes down to the cranberry juice that you buy.
The drinks that are deeper in color are made with regular cranberry juice and the orange cocktails are made with organic cranberry juice. Both sweetened, both the same brand, both taste the same....delicious!
The only difference is one is organic and one is not. The choice is yours.

Looking for a fun cocktail for brunch? Your search is over with this Easy Cranberry Mimosa. It's a fun way to toast your friends and family this holiday season!
I stumbled upon this cranberry orange prosecco cocktail on Pinterest while looking for a festive cocktail for a Christmas party. The recipe says 'serve immediately.' Do you think it would do well made in a large batch in a glass pitcher to serve for a crowd as guests want one or does it really need to be served immediately?
Hi Amanda, The only issue with that is that the prosecco will lose its bubbles if left in the pitcher. If that doesn't bother you, then it will work great. Otherwise you can make a pitcher of the the cranberry juice and orange liqueur and then have the prosecco next to it on ice and have people serve themselves. I have done that before and it works well! Hope that helps!
