Storage Tips 🥂

I want to make sure my Apple Cider Mimosa stays fresh and tasty! Here are some handy tips to store it just right:

• Refrigerate: I always chill the leftover mimosa in the fridge. Pour it into an airtight bottle. This helps keep the bubbles intact and the drink refreshing. 🍾✨
• Use Fresh Ingredients: If I’m planning to store the mimosa for a short while, I make sure to use fresh apple cider and champagne. The fresher the ingredients, the fresher the stored mimosa will taste!
• Time Matters: The sparkling taste fades over time, so I aim to enjoy my mimosa within 2 days of making it. Keeping an eye on time ensures it stays delicious!
• Ice Cubes: Sometimes, I like to freeze some apple cider as ice cubes. It keeps my drink cold without watering it down. Plus, it looks cool! ❄️

It’s all about keeping my cocktail exciting and enjoyable. Cheers! 🥳
