Do I really need a reason to make a champagne cocktail? Probably not, but we’ll use today’s post as a reason to. Plus, I’m in lust over my straws from The Dollar Spot – and half the reason I took photos at all, was to simply photograph my fancy $3 straws #sorrynotsorry.
I’m quite simple when it comes to a mimosa – give me equal parts bubbly (sometimes champs, and sometimes prosecco) and juice, and I am a happy girl.
But I wanted to make this original recipe from the Cookie Rookie, for a party we’re attending. Except…it didn’t ombre for me – is ombre an adjective I can use for this example? I digress.
Regardless, this cocktail was still tasty and I think the addition of fresh rosemary makes it look so very festive for this time of year! I made a simple syrup using fresh blackberries, raw honey, and water. It’s simple to make, but oh so pretty. Try the original recipe for yourself (and please, I beg of you, let me know if you achieved the desired effect!), or mix it all together as I did and you’ll still impress your friends with fun glassware, fresh herbs, and I mean at the end of the day, it’s a CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL for New Year’s Eve (or brunch the following day), people!
No one will refuse you – I promise.

P.S. If you’re looking for a more simple brunchy drink, try a Cranberry and Prosecco Mimosa!

Those straws (and the glasses!!) are adorable. There is no such thing as too many champagne cocktails in my book!
We are on the same wavelength, girl! I’m about to throw a champagne cocktail post up tomorrow! Totally pushing it with the time, but there’s always next New Year’s! 🙂 This looks delish, and I totally think we should whip up a few next month!
Looks amazing! I sure am going to miss my champagne this NYE, but I bought a pack of sparkling cider to ease the pain. 🙂
That looks so good, seriously all of my favorite drink ingredients in one definitely pinning this one!
Looks really tasty!!! Cheers girl! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
That looks delicious! I am totally saving that recipe. Have a great day!!
