8 Holiday Brunch

Brunch-goers will be delighted with a festive Cider Mimosa. Instead of Champagne and orange juice, use hard apple cider with a splash of red fruit. We love Ontario-made Pommies (LCBO 253118, 473 mL, $3.25) for its bright fruity bubbles and light acidity. Drop 1 tsp (5 mL) cranberry juice into about 3⁄4 cup (175 mL) cider in a Champagne flute. Sprinkle in 1 tsp (5 mL) pomegranate seeds and top it off with a 2-inch (5 cm) sprig of rosemary resting on the floating seeds. This pretty, fragrant drink will take your brunch game to the next level.
