I don’t know about you, but I love a holiday morning. Whether I am curled up on the couch watching the Thanksgiving Day parade, or getting ready to unwrap presents on Christmas morning, I love the festivities and special feeling of a holiday morning. Paired with cinnamon rolls, homemade pancakes, and a bowl of fruit, a homemade cocktail is a cherry on top of a festive celebration. Enjoy this tasty low-carb sugared cranberry mimosa holiday cocktail recipe to enjoy all season long.
Generally, mimosas are known to be packed with sugar and difficult to bolus for. Luckily, I found the perfect ingredients to not only keep your blood sugars happy but also wrap your tastebuds in holiday cheer this season. Whether you’re shopping at your local grocery store or a nearby Trader Joe’s, I included two different lower carb options for your cranberry juice ingredients.
