Mix of the Month: The Cranberry-Orange Mimosa

Happy 2012, everyone!

It's a new year. You've made resolutions, set goals, and promised yourself that you're going to start this year off right. After all, you've got to start it off right to end it that way!

It seems only natural that January's featured cocktail recipe includes champagne, seeing how we all started our year off toasting with glasses full of it! Allow me to introduce January's Mix of the Month: the Cranberry-Orange Mimosa. This morning-time drink is refreshing and sweet, and only requires three easy ingredients. It's also super easy to make kid-friendly! Here's what you'll need:

Cranberry-Orange Mimosas
 2 parts Brut Champagne or Sparkling Wine
1 part light cranberry juice cocktail
1 part orange juice

Tip: If you're only making these mimosas for a couple people, your grocer should sell champagne or sparkling wine in packs of 4 small bottles. This way, you don't have to open an entire bottle to make a couple of these drinks for you and your spouse or a friend. 

Want to make it kid-friendly? Simply replace the champagne/sparkling wine with sparkling grape juice!

Cheers to the New Year! Enjoy :)
