Summer Cherry Mimosa

A summery twist on a classic cocktail favourite. Is it ever too early for Mimosas?  We think not.

  • 1/3 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 2 oranges
  • 8 cups mineral water or rosé

  1. In a microwave safe bowl combine the cherries, caster sugar and vanilla. Microwave at 1100W for 6 minutes. Stir the mixture half way.
