Pomegranate Cider Mimosas with a Salted Caramel Rim.
This is about as spooky as I’m going to get for Halloween.
Drippy salted caramel rims!
Cider mimosas with pomegranate juice, apple cider AND champagne?! Hello I am in super duper major love, like a tween that has Zack Morris posters all over her wall. You know the drill.Â
So I know I’ve posted a TON of drink recipes over the last two or three years. I mean, around 52 recipes per year, since I do one per week! But this… this is surely one of my favorites. I swear. I promise. It’s unreal. As I’m creeping down the line towards giving birth, I had to take a taste and test it. I couldn’t just give it to my testers to taste because LOOK AT THIS!!
Isn’t is serious heaven? I love it so much.
The combo is simple. I couldn’t decide on apple cider mimosas or pomegranate mimosas so I combined the two. With champagne! And a salted caramel rim for a fun autumn twist. I think if you’re having some sort of pumpkin carving party or Halloween brunch this weekend, these MUST MUST MUST make the menu.
And of course, then again for Thanksgiving.
And even throughout the month of December.
We all know what a huge apple cider freak I am, so this made perfect sense. At first, I really wanted to do caramel apple mimosas. I’ve had those on my list since July after seeing them on Facebook. But most of the recipes I found used caramel-flavored vodka and I just couldn’t get behind mixing champagne and vodka in such a small glass. And using just caramel on the rim wouldn’t be enough caramel for me!
I was semi-devastated to tell you the truth. Totally was planning on caramel apple mimosas being my Friendsgiving cocktail and had to CHANGE ALL THE PLANS.
But it’s okay. It’s even better. This mimosa is a dream and tastes like major fall in a glass. And since it’s a mimosa, it means we can have it for breakfast! But also for cocktails. And then for a nightcap.
Heck! We’re getting into the holiday season. Perhaps this should just be our daily beverage of choice?
Yep sounds about right.

THese are stunning and incredibly easy which is even better. i love the caramel dripping down the glass – it’s sexy of course until it drips on you. I love it drips and all I will definitely be making will definitely be making these.
thank you vicki!!
These look delicious!! I am thinking of making these for a baby shower I’m throwing in a few weeks. Obviously, the mom-to-be can’t drink (more than a taste of) a true mimosa — would you say that the cider/pom mixture of juices is still tasty even without the champagne? Or, is it the champagne that makes the combo great??
it would taste good, but i think you should just get a bottle of sparkling cider or champagne or something non-alcoholic!! you could also do ginger ale or ginger beer?!
Gah! I didn’t even think of that. :-) Thanks for the ideas!
These are looking awesome:)
I think, I’m going to get drunk this Halloween.
woohoo!
Looks like I now know what drink we’ll be having on Thanksgiving!

Jessica, these look so good. Can’t wait to make them. I was looking for ideas for a mimosa bar for a shower on your site. I feel like you shared details on this within the last few years maybe for you or your sister in law? I’m not seeing it, maybe I made it up, lol. Anyway, if you know what I’m talking about, please share a link to the page, or give me some ideas. I would appreciate it!
hi! you didn’t make it up. :) a few years ago i shared this bellini bar! love the idea. totally the same with mimosas too – i did share on instagram or snapchat two years ago that i did a similar idea for my SIL’s shower, just didn’t do a blog post on it!

for the mimosa bar i did grapefruit, orange and blood orange juice, but you can obviously do more flavors depending on the season!
