Hello from our honeymoon! I am currently sitting on our balcony, sipping a glass of champagne and watching the Mediterranean go by with my new hubby. #bestfeelingever! Two days into our trip with a 6 hour time difference and we are almost over our jet lag, which is a pretty nice feeling. We’ve been making the most of our unlimited drink package (oh yeah!), including lots of champagne!

These blood orange mimosas are a beautiful twist on a classic brunch cocktail, and feature thyme simple syrup and gin.

And of course, champagne makes me think of mimosas. Like these deliciously delectable thyme and blood orange mimosas. Not only do they have a crazy refreshing taste between the slight bitterness of the blood orange, the freshness of the thyme in the simple syrup, and the floral notes of the gin, they are such a beautiful color: perfect for springtime cocktail hour!

    Can these be made into a mocktail? Can you suggest how to make one?

      Hello Linda, thanks for your comment! I have not attempted to make these into a mocktail, but my recommendation would be to eliminate the gin and add about 1/2 oz. more blood orange juice instead, and then substitute the prosecco for your favorite sparkling beverage, such as San Pellegrino or Perrier. Let me know how it turns out!
