We love making cranberry mimosas on a slow Saturday morning or during the holidays.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 bottles (750 ml each) champagne, chilled

Place cranberries and 1 cup orange juice in a blender; cover and process until pureed, stopping to scrape down side of jar with a rubber spatula as needed. Add lemon juice and remaining orange juice; cover and process until blended.
Pour 1/3 cup cranberry mixture into each champagne flute or wine glass. Top with 3/4 cup champagne; serve with mint if desired.

Mimosas are just so elegant for Sunday brunch. My recipe uses tart cranberries to balance the sweetness of champagne and orange juice. —Shannon Stephens, Lake in the Hills, Illinois
