Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

- Top off each flute with champagne, taking care not to overfill.

Tips For The Best Results
- Chill your apple cider and champagne before use to serve the mimosas nicely chilled.
- Always pour the cider before the champagne to ensure a well-mixed drink.

- Pre-made mimosas can lose their fizz, so I wouldn’t recommend storing them for later consumption.
