Day 12: Cranberry Mimosa

Wow, what fun and exhausting time I have had over the past 12 days (actually way before then) preparing, eating and sharing all of these breakfast and brunch recipes. Today is the last day and I have a simple drink recipe that is PERFECT for holiday brunch entertaining.

I had originally wanted to share a homemade yogurt recipe today, but unfortunately it did not work out. So this drink is a last minute addition to the countdown, but it turned out so pretty how could I not share it.

Enter in a Cranberry Mimosa. These can be made to order or easily made in a large punch bowl or pitcher to feed a crowd. Frozen cranberries add a beautiful pop of color as well as keep these drinks cool without being watered down by ice.

Oh and not a drinker or want to make these kid friendly, substituted the champagne with some sparkling grape juice/cider or water, club soda, or lemon lime soda, to get that bubbly effect!
