Dropping in today with a quick cocktail recipe for all of your upcoming holiday brunches!

I don’t know about you, but hosting a holiday brunch is one of my favourite things to do during the festive season. And no surprise, but mimosas are always on the menu. (Mimosas and lots and lots of coffee!)

We’ll be hosting friends for brunch this holiday season. And to help me narrow down what I’m going to serve, I’ve been working on a recipe round-up of some of my favourite holiday brunch dishes. Keep an eye out for that post over the next few days. And if you don’t want to miss it, be sure to sign up for the Crumb Top Baking newsletter!

What is Ginger Beer?

Traditional ginger beer originated in England, and was made by fermenting and brewing sugar, ginger and water with a starter culture called the ginger beer plant. It was originally an alcoholic beverage, but today most commercial ginger beers are non-alcoholic. And while ginger beer tastes similar to ginger ale, it’s spicier and less carbonated. If you’re interested it learning more about ginger beer, Thrillist has a great article.

Some tips for making Ginger Beer Mimosas:

  • I used freshly squeezed orange juice as I always have plenty of oranges on hand. But store-bought orange juice will work too, just try to go with one with no-added sugar.
  • This recipe uses a 330 millilitre bottle of ginger beer, or approximately 11 ounces. You can use alcoholic or non-alcoholic ginger beer. It just depends on how strong you like your mimosas.
  • The recipe calls for vodka, but gin would also work really well.
  • I added a dash of ginger, but you can certainly leave it out if the ginger beer is enough ginger for you!

    I’ve never had a ginger beer mimosa! It sounds fantastic. I’m a huge fan of ginger beer. I had it in my head once to try to brew some at home, but I just never got around to it. Maybe this will give me the incentive.

    These sound lovely, Leanne! Love ginger and the little punch that it adds so happy to see the extra ginger added here. Bet this would definitely make for one yummy brunch cocktail over the holidays! We are hosting a party tomorrow so lots of prep today. That time of year, for sure. Fun, though!
