If you're looking for an easy mocktail, you've found it. These simple virgin Christmas mimosas take just minutes to make and are perfect for a crowd.

These virgin mimosas make the perfect Christmas mocktails.

We had 30 guests at our place a few weeks ago and one thing it taught me is that prep time is precious! Often so much attention is paid to the food that the drinks get forgotten about.

I made it easy by making these virgin Christmas Mimosas so I could get back to entertaining quickly. They are:

• Fast: with just 2 ingredients and no chopping, muddling or other prep needed, this mocktail can be made in less than a minute.
• Easy: there are definitely no bartending skills required for this Christmas drink.
• Gloriously festive: just look at that beautiful colour from the cranberry juice. Top them with a sprig of rosemary or whole cranberries for an extra festive feel.

Looking for something different? Try my easy alcohol free eggnog, which can be made in advance, or my non alcoholic mulled wine.

They can both be made in advance and are the perfect mocktails for a crowd.

Ingredients you'll need

You'll need only 2 ingredients for this Christmas mocktail (plus a garnish), so they are cost effective as well as easy.

I used:

Non alcoholic sparkling wine - I recommend a dry wine if possible. The cranberry juice is very sweet, so a dry wine works better with it.

If you don't drink alcohol free wine, you can replace it with soda water, kombucha or ginger beer - just be mindful the colour will change if you use a ginger beer.

Cranberry juice - I used a low sugar cranberry juice, but I am not a sweet tooth! If you like it sweeter, a regular or diet juice works fine.

Something to garnish: I think rosemary works perfectly, but you could also use mint, cranberries or even cherries - anything green or red you have on hand!

How to make Christmas Mimosas

This method could not be easier.

Simply pour 2 parts alcohol free sparkling wine and 1 part cranberry juice into your glasses. The measurements don't have to be exact and you can change the quantities to suit your taste and make it your own.

I hope you enjoy these festive virgin mimosas, they really are the best Christmas mocktails!
