Thanksgiving Mimosa

How to Make the Best Thanksgiving Mimosa

This Thanksgiving mimosa is the perfect way to elevate your holiday brunch. Unlike traditional mimosas, this festive version features an infused orange juice base that’s been steeped with warming fall spices—cinnamon, cloves, and sage—along with the natural sweetness of dried figs. The result is a sophisticated, seasonally-inspired cocktail that tastes like autumn in a glass.

The beauty of this recipe is how easily it can be prepared ahead of time. You can make the infused orange juice mixture the day before your gathering and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve. This makes it ideal for entertaining, so you can focus on spending time with loved ones rather than scrambling in the kitchen last minute. Simply strain the mixture right before serving and you’re ready to go.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate brunch or a larger holiday gathering, this Thanksgiving mimosa is sure to impress your guests. The optional cinnamon-sugar rim adds a decorative touch and complements the spiced flavors beautifully. Pair it with your favorite brunch fare and raise a glass to gratitude and togetherness this holiday season.

Ingredients

Infused Orange Juice

For Serving

Instructions

Prepare Infusion

  1. In a small saucepan, add the orange juice, cinnamon sticks, dried figs, sage leaves and ground cloves. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil.
  2. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to steep for 15 minutes.
  3. Strain, pressing down on the figs to release any orange juice, and refrigerate until chilled. It's recommended to prepare this the day before serving if possible.

Prepare Glasses

  1. If you would like a cinnamon-sugar rim, mix together the cinnamon and sugar on a small plate.
  2. On another small plate, add water and lightly dip the rim of the flute into the water to moisten. Then, swirl the moistened rim in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Serve

  1. Add about 2 ounces infused orange juice to each Champagne flute. Top with about 5 ounces Champagne.
  2. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Prepare the infused orange juice the day before serving for the best flavor.
  • The cinnamon-sugar rim is optional but adds a beautiful finishing touch.
  • This recipe yields 5 servings with about 2 ounces of infusion per drink.
