Ingredients:
Apple cider
Champagne
Gold and silver sprinkles for rim of glass (optional)
Apple slices for garnish (optional)

Directions:
Dip the top of each champagne glass into water and then dip in the sprinkles to coat. Pour each champagne glass one-half to three-fourths full with apple cider. Top with champagne.

Between the vibrant sapphire color and perfectly placed mint sprig atop this drink (because what is a mimosa without its fancy garnish?), this mimosa recipe looks almost too pretty to drink. Almost.

Ingredients:
2-1/4 ounces fresh blackberry juice
5 spearmint leaves
Coarse sugar, for muddling
1/4 ounce simple syrup
Dry champagne, well-chilled
Fresh blackberries, for garnish (optional)
Spearmint sprig, for garnish (optional)

Directions:
To make the blackberry juice, muddle fresh blackberries and strain the juices through a cheesecloth. Add juice, mint and coarse sugar to a cocktail shaker. Muddle to release mint oils. Add simple syrup and shake well. Strain mixture into a champagne glass. Top off with champagne. Garnish with fresh blackberries and/or mint sprig. Serve.
