‘Tis the season to drink Christmas cocktails and make merry! And this elegant holiday mimosa, made with pomegranate and rosemary, is perfect for holiday gatherings. Cheers!
The holidays are a wonderful time of year filled with holiday gatherings like Ugly Sweater Christmas parties, holiday brunches and meals and New Year’s Eve parties. And Christmas cocktails abound.
If you plan to host one of these holiday soirees, I have the perfect holiday cocktail!
The Mistletoe Mimosa is a flute filled with holiday cheer that will brighten everyone’s day. I created this festive holiday mimosa with sparkling wine, rosemary simple syrup and pomegranate juice.
Refreshingly tart, and subtly sweet with a hint of rosemary, it’s my kind of cocktail and I’ve been enjoying them perhaps a little too much lately.
This Christmas cocktail goes from delicious to extraordinary by adding the rosemary simple syrup. Trust me!
I’ve included the recipe for rosemary simple syrup and it is super easy to make. Just add equal parts sugar and water to a pot, add a few rosemary sprigs, bring to a boil, stirring until slightly thickened. That’s it!
Add a spoonful of pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary to create the mistletoe theme. How beautiful is that?
Speaking of mistletoe, don’t forget to kiss your special loved one while enjoying this Christmas cocktail. Cheers!
Are you in love with champagne cocktails like I am? A big hit last month was my Caramel Apple Cider Mimosa. But be sure to to see all of my cocktail recipes. You’re going to love them!
