Cider Cocktails – Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe, Sparkling Pear

Cider cocktails: We don’t get enough of them. It’s our own fault, since we habitually order one of our three favorite cocktails instead of going for the seasonal specialty.

Eating seasonally means drinking seasonally, too. So from now through the end of holiday season, we’re going to enjoy cocktails with fall and winter ingredients, returning on January 1st, National Bloody Mary Day, to our usual drink of choice.

Thanks to ONEHOPE Wine for these two sparkling cocktails, made with regular cider and their sparkling wine (you can use any sparkler).

RECIPE: PEAR & SPARKLING CIDER COCKTAIL

Ingredients For 8 Cocktails

Rim: 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cinnamon, combined

2 cups chilled pear nectar

2 cups apple cider

2 cups sparkling wine

4 ounces Bourbon

Garnish: 1 pear, unpeeled and cored cut into thin slices
lengthwise

1. RIM flutes with cinnamon and sugar mixture.

2. COMBINE pear nectar, apple cider, sparkling wine and Bourbon in a pitcher. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced pear.

We’re not sure why it’s called a Mimosa (which is Champagne and orange juice). Think of it as a Mimosa for Scotch lovers (photo © Svedka Vodka).

1 ounce Scotch

2 ounces fresh apple cider
