Tis the season for a Christmas mimosa, amirite?

I’m in South Florida this week, and this is the first time that I’ve traveled somewhere warm for the holidays. Admittedly, it’s odd to be poolside writing about Christmas cocktails, but here I am. I’m not that sad about missing out on the cold weather, but it doesn’t feel quite like the holidays in 80-degree weather! I’m a little jealous of all you Floridians out there.

As much as I love a good glass of wine during the holidays, I also like to experiment with seasonal cocktails as well during this time of year. This Christmas Mimosa is perfect for the season: it’s super easy to make, only requires a few ingredients, and can be served at any of your holiday parties or even on Christmas morning for your family. Plus, you can wow your guests with minimal effort!
