From Episode 3 of Cafecito Conversations: The Art of the Autumn Kitchen.
This is the fall mimosa from the episode: apple cider, champagne, and a cinnamon-sugar rim, finished with an apple slice and a sprig of rosemary. It looks like a celebration and it takes about five minutes — my kind of cocktail.
Dunk the apple slice in lime juice first so it stays pretty instead of going brown in the glass.
