🍓Variations

This fall mimosa recipe is the perfect mimosa for Thanksgiving! Change up the pumpkin drink by adding in fun variations to make it your own. You can even make a fall mimosa mocktail!

• Berry Twist: Instead of apple cider, use cranberry or pomegranate juice for a berry twist. These flavors pair well with the festive season and offer a tart contrast to the sweet pumpkin puree.
• Spiced Rim: For an added layer of flavor, mix turbinado sugar with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg to rim the glasses. This will give each sip a subtle spicy sweetness.
• Maple Infusion: Replace the turbinado sugar with maple syrup for a more autum flavor. Lightly dipping the rim of the glass in maple syrup and then into a mixture of crushed nuts can add both flavor and texture.
• Creamy Texture: To make the drink creamier and richer, add a splash of coconut milk or almond milk. This variation gives the drink a delightful velvety texture.
• Citrus Note: Add a splash of orange or lemon juice to the pitcher for a refreshing citrus note. You can also garnish the drink with a twist of citrus peel for added aroma.
• Herbal Touch: Muddle some fresh rosemary or sage at the bottom of the champagne glasses before adding the mixture. These herbs provide a refreshing and aromatic undertone.
• Non Alcoholic Pumpkin Mimosa: If you’re looking for non alcoholic thanksgiving drinks, consider using club soda or tonic water in place of ginger ale for the non-alcoholic mocktail version. For an alcoholic twist, prosecco or cava can be used as alternatives to champagne.
• Tropical Variation: For a tropical touch, replace pumpkin puree with mango or passion fruit puree. This will give the drink a sweet, exotic taste that’s a surprising twist on the original.
