Pairs With: Sparkling Wine
Flavor Profile: Rose + Almond + Orange + Pomegranate
To me, the holidays evoke memories of mimosa's and brunch, so I set out to create a cocktail that elevated the mimosa to a new level. Champagne, to me, signifies the pinnacle of elegance, so pairing rose with the wine made a lot of sense. I also wanted to introduce a richness that would cut through the dryness of the wine, so almonds were introduced to the mix. Finally, I wanted something that shines in the glass so pomegranate adds a beautiful hue and a subtle flavor to this cocktail.
Hope you enjoy
