Thanksgiving Mimosa

What is Thanksgiving Mimosa?

The Thanksgiving Mimosa is a cozy, sparkling holiday twist on the classic brunch cocktail - bright, effervescent, and filled with festive fall flavor. Instead of citrus-heavy orange juice, this seasonal version uses apple cider, spiced cranberry, or pear nectar (your choice!) to create a bubbly drink that feels instantly warm and celebratory.

Perfect for Thanksgiving morning, Friendsgiving brunch, or sipping while prepping the feast, the Thanksgiving Mimosa brings together fall fruit, warm spices, and crisp sparkling wine for a refreshing cocktail that pairs beautifully with holiday dishes. Elegant, effortless, and unforgettable - it’s the kind of drink that makes the whole house feel like fall.
