This Thanksgiving will be my first Thanksgiving on my new diet. It is my husbands favorite holiday and we will be spending much of it with his family. I have decided to post a four part series of Fall Cocktails all featuring New England’s honorary fall drink: Apple Cider. It’s true, drinking alcohol is not Paleo but it remains a part of many people lives. Champagne is wine that had been carbonated by fermenting the wine a second time. If you choose to include wine into your Paleo lifestyle than you can certainly include a glass of champagne every now and then. Because: fermented! To sweeten the deal, I am pairing fermented apple cider with champagne to make a delicious fall beverage.
I love to support local farms and shop for produce when in season. Living in New Hampshire there are many local apple farms making cider this time of year which is why it is the perfect fall beverage and this cocktail only needs on other ingredient, it is that simple.
Cider Mimosa:
Mix equal parts apple cider and champagne.
Mix equal parts apple cider and champagne.
Cinnamon Rim:
Wet the rim of your champagne flute with water then dip the rim into a mixture of equal parts cinnamon and cane sugar, you really don’t need much. Cinnamon is a natural anti-inflammatory so it only makes sense to add a festive rim to your drink!
I love mimosas. They are the perfect way to celebrate the start to a new day. This pairing isn’t difficult and it makes the ideal fall mimosa. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass and relax for a moment before the busy holiday season sets in. I won’t tell. Cheers.
