Vanilla Cranberry Mimosa

I love mimosas and this holiday twist is just as easy to make as the original. I chose not to add a vanilla bean garnish because a container of three vanilla beans was $15.00 at my local grocery store -- no thank you. If you already have some on hand, then go for the garnish.

Pair With: Hassleback Potatoes with Goat Cheese + Gorgonzola.

Recipe from Honey and Birch.

Ingredients:

-1 1/2 ounces of vanilla flavored vodka

-1 1/2 ounces of cranberry juice

-sparkling wine 

-fresh cranberries

-whole vanilla beans, optional garnish

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, cranberry juice and ice. Stir, then strain into a champagne flute. Fill the glass to the top with sparkling wine. Garnish with cranberries and whole vanilla beans if desired.
