with prickly pear green tea, eucalyptus honey and fresh cranberries
Mimosas are a staple cocktail of brunches, and are the ideal drink to kickstart a leisurely morning (Christmas morning here we come!). This mimosa tea-cocktail takes a spin on the classic orange juice and champagne recipe, but adds a fun twist with one of our favorite southwest-inspired green teas, Prickly Pear. Flavors of hibiscus and pear compliment the sparkling wine as notes of zingy lime, fresh cranberry, and mellow Eucalyptus Honey add a delicate touch.
