CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Happy Thanksgiving, Chicago!
With all the preparation that goes into making a Thanksgiving feast, we are keeping this week's cocktail super simple and soaking in that last bit of fall before the bitter cold arrives. Plus, who doesn't love a good mimosa, right?
This week's Cocktail of the Week is an Apple Cider Mimosa!
Yep, that's right, we are swapping the orange juice for apple cider.
This fall take on a classic mimosa is super simple to make and the right amount of bubbly to celebrate the holiday that's all about being grateful while feasting on some delicious food!
The Apple Cider Mimosa recipe really only calls for two ingredients, unless you want to dress things up -- just like your turkey! All you need is apple cider and champagne, or any other sparkling white wine. Then, if you want to dress up your glass, you can add a gold sugar rim and a slice of apple for garnish.
So, who's ready to mix things up?
