What Is In A Caramel Apple Mimosa?

Sparkling wine and apple cider are your main ingredients in this cocktail. You can use unsweetened apple cider because the caramel will lend your drink plenty of sweetness. 

Here’s what goes in a Caramel Apple Mimosa Cocktail:

Prosecco or similar sparkling Wine

I normally use either Cava or Prosecco in my mimosas. These cocktails are one place where you don’t need to buy the most expensive liquor in order to make a great tasting drink. 

If you want to use Champagne, then you can but if the budget won’t stretch to it, Cava or Prosecco is perfect for that. 

You can buy a great bottle for under $20. 

Apple Cider

During the fall months, you can buy fresh apple cider from farms and orchards but even during the year, you should be able to find it in grocery stores. 

Old Fashioned Caramel

You know the old-fashioned caramel that you can dip apple slices in? This is what you want for your Caramel Apple cocktail. I use the LiteHouse brand of minis. 

Although you could use the caramel sauce that people use on ice cream sundaes, you might find it way too runny. 

You’ll use this caramel for your rim and also inside your drink. 

Fresh Apple Slice

You can garnish your drink with a slice of fresh apple if you wish

Caramel Apple Mimosa Recipe: Directions

Step 1

Using your wooden skewer, roll it around in the caramel until you have a ball of it on the end. Put the skewer into your Champagne glass. 

Step 2

Fill your Champagne flute about halfway with apple cider

Step 3

Next top your glass with sparkling wine

Step 4

You can add a slice of fresh apple to your glass for a festive touch.

How To Make Caramel Rims

If you use the old fashioned kind of caramel, making the rim is really easy. All you need to do is gently dip the rim of your glass in the caramel and set it aside. 

The old fashioned caramel is much thicker than caramel syrup and it won’t run down your glass. You can add a dusting of cinnamon sugar to the rim if you wish. 

Virgin Apple Cider Mimosa

If you want to make this drink without alcohol, you can use club soda or sparkling water instead of champagne.
