Frozen mimosa recipe

If you’re looking for a new cocktail for Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving mimosa look no further!

This is delicious champagne cocktail that’s like dessert and after dinner drink in one.

A frozen mimosa, or fromosa, that is a mashup of cranberry mimosa and apple cider mimosa that can be made almost entirely ahead of time (aside from popping the bottle of bubbly). Basically it’s the perfect Thanksgiving mimosa.

Made by freezing apple cider and cranberry puree until slushy into a cranberry apple sorbet. Then top with champagne. Done.

Various glasses of bright pink frozen cranberry mimosas.

Enjoy frozen cranberry mimosas in the fall when apple picking, as a cocktail for or as a Christmas drink. You can even turn it into big batch mimosa to serve as a holiday punch recipe.

No matter how you serve them you are going to love these frozen cranberry apple cider mimosas!

Ingredients

  • Cranberry Apple Cider Sorbet – Made with fresh or frozen cranberries and apple cider or apple juice that have been simmered, strained and frozen. Or pick up some raspberry sorbet or strawberry sorbet instead.
  • Champagne – Champagne or sparkling white wine or sparkling rose. Or make a non-alcoholic mimosa with sparkling cider, kombucha, ginger ale or soda.
  • Optional – To increase the alcohol content make it more like a classic champagne cocktail and add an ounce or two of vodka, gin or St Germain Elderflower Liquor to the glass before pouring the bubbly.

Step by Step instructions

Like my spiked apple cider slushie this recipe is as easy as freezing apple cider and topping with a pour of champagne.

  1. Up to 2 months in advance make cranberry apple sorbet. Puree a sweetened mixture of cranberries and apple cider and strain smooth. Pour into a container and freeze, periodically stirring.

Sparkling frozen cranberry apple mocktail

Easily make this a frozen mimosa mocktail by using sparkly kombucha or sparkling water in place of the sparkling wine.

A pour of kombucha makes an easy and fun frozen mimosa mocktail.

How to make ahead

These frozen mimosas can be made ahead of time in a few different ways.

Scoop sorbet into glasses up to 24 hours in advance. Cover the sorbet filled glasses lightly with plastic wrap and carefully place in the freezer until ready to serve. Then all you have to do is top with sparkling wine.

Cranberry mimosa punch

To turn this recipe into an even bigger batch cranberry mimosa punch fill a punch bowl with champagne and scoops of sorbet. Garnish with fresh cranberries and thinly sliced apple rings to let guests know what to expect. Or rim glasses with cranberry sugar. You can also keep a bottle of chilled vodka nearby for guests who want to spike it up a notch.
