Collage of four fall mimosas - apple cider, white grape cranberry, pumpkin beermosa, pear.

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.

Two champagne flutes filled with white grape mimosas, topped with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary.

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.

Two champagne flutes filled with orange pumpkin beermosas.

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.)

How to solve my champagne problem? Enter Drizly. Haven’t heard of them? Well, you’re going to be amazed. These magical people bring you bottles of champagne, liquor, or beer right to your door. You don’t even have to talk to anyone on the phone to order! Just open the app or website, add the bottles you want to your cart, and the order button! Pretty soon a nice man (or lady) will arrive with your booze. Man, we really are alive in the greatest time.

Here are the four fall mimosa recipes I came up with:

Vanilla Bean Pear Mimosa

A champagne flute filled with a vanilla bean pear mimosa.

Apple Cider Mimosa

Apple cider mimosa in a champagne flute with a cinnamon sugar rim and apple slice.

White Grape & Cranberry Mimosa

A White Grape Cranberry Mimosas in a champagne flute with rosemary sprig.

Pumpkin Ale Beermosa

Orange Pumpkin Ale Beermosa with a pumpkin spice rim.

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. 😉

    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!
