Ingredients
For the Ice Cubes:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- Fresh cranberries
- Orange peel stars details below
For the Mimosa:
- 1 bottle of Prosecco, Champagne, or your favorite sparkling wine
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ice Cubes
- Take a silicone ice cube tray with large compartments – trust me, these work best. The larger cubes melt slower and look super elegant.
- Fill half of each compartment with orange juice. Drop in a fresh cranberry and an orange peel star. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- Once frozen, top the compartments with cranberry juice. Freeze again until solid.
How to Make Orange Peel Stars:
- Use a vegetable peeler to carefully remove strips of orange peel, avoiding the bitter white pith. Then, grab a tiny star-shaped cookie cutter and press out your stars. It’s that easy – and so worth it for the festive touch.
Step 2: Assemble the Mimosas
- Drop 3-4 orange-cranberry ice cubes into a coupe glass (yes, skip the flute!). The wider bowl of the coupe showcases those beautiful ice cubes and makes the drink feel extra fancy.
- Top with Prosecco or Champagne. Pour slowly so you don’t lose those bubbles.
