Cocktail of the Week: Pumpkin Pie Mimosa
Pumpkin Juice
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 2 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp water
Rimming Sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/4 cup sugar
Cocktail
- Champagne
- Garnish: whipped cream, cinnamon stick, rimming sugar
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, sugar, and water. Cook the mixture down slightly, stirring constantly, for approximately a few minutes. The mixture should still be a puree, so don’t cook it down too far!
- Remove mixture from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard remaining puree. Cool completely before using in the refrigerator.
- When you are ready to make the drinks, in a small bowl, stir together ingredients for the rimming sugar. Wet the rims of 4 champagne glasses and rim them with the pumpkin spice sugar. Set aside.
- Add 1 1/2 oz of the strained pumpkin juice to the champagne glasses and give the mixture a stir.
- Fill each glass to the top with champagne.
- Top each with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of the remaining rimming sugar.
- Serve immediately.
