Who is ready for Thanksgiving next week?
Probably no one. I know I’m not. It always sneaks up on me.
I didn’t even realize that the Friendsgiving I’m going to is only 2 days away! I’m on cocktail duty and want to “wow” them. (Not that I need a recipe, I’m sure I could do that with my charm & good looks alone. Right?) I thought since we’ll all get started cooking together in the morning, maybe we should have mimosas?
Yep. That sounds easy and delicious.
Conventional mimosa ideas were out. I didn’t want orange juice to have any part in this.
I decided to infuse some fall flavor into them using flavors like apple, pear, and grape. I even snuck in a pumpkin ale beermosa for those weirdos who don’t like champagne.
The problem is I have just returned from a long trip to Iceland. I’m super jetlagged, very lazy, and overall just still in vacation mode. I have about 5,000 emails to catch up on as well as unpacking. Even going to the store for champagne sounds way too hard right now. (I’m a lush, I know. That’s just what a decade of West LA will do to you.)

I hope you enjoy our fall mimosa recipes! Do you make any special Thanksgiving or Fall cocktails? If so, let me know. I may need a little extra booze to get through all the Thanksgiving dinner political conversations this year. 😉

Thank you, Michelle! Happy Thanksgiving.
Vicki says
The picture of the white grape and cranberry mimosa has a sprig of rosemary yet the recipe calls for a sprig of thyme……..just wondering……….
Jessica Pinney says
Thanks for catching that, Vicki! It has been fixed.
Patti says
These all sound so good. I love the way the white grape and cranberry mimosa looks with those cranberries floating on the top. It definitely looks like a late fall cocktail. I love that there are so many different variations, but I was wondering about the Pumpkin Ale Beermosa. You said that it was for people who don’t like champagne. You were kidding, right? There aren’t really people who don’t like champagne, are there?

Hi Janica! Haven’t tried any of these wonderful recipes yet. But I wanted something for my only daughters fall-themed wedding shower. Only problem is this: I don’t know what to serve with them. Suggestions? I’d like to try the first 3. The apple is my first pick. So glad I found your website!
