Blood Orange Cider Mimosas became one of my go-to winter cocktails this chilly, wet winter. It is bright, bold, and I love the orange cider twist to the boozy beverage.

Blood Orange Cider Mimosas

You can whip up these mimosas for an after work unwind, or to serve guests as you enjoy a savory dinner together. They are a nice twist to a classic mimosa for your brunches, parties, and relaxing drinks after work. 

You will find that blood oranges offer a stronger citrus flavor than when compared to traditional oranges. Blood oranges also are sweeter than a basic orange, and they provide such a beautiful red color, which will make your mimosas go from pretty to stunning in seconds. 

Add Bubbly To Your Brunch With Blood Orange Cider Mimosas

Because Prosecco can lose the bubble fast, I don’t recommend prepping these drinks ahead of time.

I like to make them as we serve them, so each glass is vibrant, bubbly, and the best mimosa for guests to sip on. You can make glass by glass or grab a pitcher and make a batch to pour and serve. Just don’t let them sit too long or they will go flat. 

If you have never had fresh blood orange juice, you have to give it a try. It offers such a bold citrus flavor and then pairing it with prosecco and blood orange hard apple cider, it makes for the most rewarding beverage. 

Can I tell you a secret? I have such a weakness for mimosas! They are my favorite drink. I mean for real. Let me share some of my other favorite varieties of mimosas for you to consider making. 

• Orange Creamsicle Mimosa
• Cranberry Orange Mimosa
• Blackberry Margarita Mimosa
• Dirty Shirley Mimosa

What If I Can’t Find Blood Orange Apple Cider?

You can omit the blood orange cider for another type of hard cider. Yes, it will slightly alter the flavor, but because of the fresh blood orange juice, it will still be delicious.

I just found a blood orange apple cider when I was out, and I knew it would compliment this cocktail nicely. 

What Do Mimosas Have In Them?

Traditionally mimosas are served with champagne and orange juice.

My Blood Orange Mimosa has fresh blood orange juice, hard cider, and prosecco. The blend of these ingredients will give you a sweet and spiked cocktail that any mimosa will love this unique and refreshing version!

Serve in a champagne glass with a slice of blood orange on the side to dress up your drink even more. Plus you might enjoy nibbling on the blood orange slice. 

Can You Put Ice In Mimosas? 

You bet!

One trick I do especially if it is a hot day, I freeze the orange juice in ice trays. So as it melts down it won’t water down your drink; it only adds more flavor to your drink.
