Keto Cranberry Mimosas
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberries
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- ¼ cup allulose (can use more Swerve or another sweetener)
- ¼ teaspoon orange extract
- 6 tablespoon vodka
- 1 bottle champagne or prosecco (750 ml)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries and water. Bring to a boil and cook until the cranberries have popped.
- Pour into a sieve set over a bowl and press on the solids to release as much juice as possible. Stir in the sweetener and orange extract and chill 1 hour.
- For the cocktails, add 2 tablespoon cranberry juice and one tablespoon of vodka to each champagne glass. Top up with chilled champagne.
- Garnish with a rosemary sprig and fresh cranberries, if desired.

I made these for pre-drink Thanksgiving and they were a fantastic treat!
Cindy says
Can you tell us how measurements for non alcoholic?
Jennifer says
This will be perfect for New Year’s Eve. I’m going to leave out the vodka because I am a lightweight. ????

Greetings! I read through the recipe for this and I’m a little unsure how to do. After boiling the cranberries in water do you discard the water? Then squeeze juice out of the cranberries and mix in sugar vodka and champagne? Maybe I missed something. Thank you.
Carolyn says
No… you pour it all into the sieve, water and berries, and press on it until all the juice has gone into he bowl under the sieve. The only thing you throw out are the berry skins left in the sieve.
TC says
Hi! How can this be low carb when the champagne has sugar (some more than others) And cranberry juice is loaded with sugar!?
Carolyn says
1. It’s a myth that champagne contains a lot of carbs. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/carbohydrates-champagne-11802.html
2. You make your own cranberry juice. Please read the full recipe.

I’m not much of one for drinking alcohol, but that sweetened cranberry juice looks like it would make a great syrup for adding to sparkling water.
Carolyn says
Absolutely!
Michelle says
I made this over the holidays and it is absolutely delicious! I also love to use the homemade cranberry juice without the spirits and add a little bit to my seltzer. My husband loves it as well, so much so I’m making another batch today. I’m curious though, what is the nutritional information for just the juice without the Prosecco and vodka?
Also, is there anything that the leftover cranberries can be used for? I hate tossing them out. I can give them to my chickens I suppose, but I it would be great if I could use them in something else????

Merry Christmas, Carolyn!
I’m about to start a few batches of Butter Pecan Cookies, followed by some Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars… I guess we’re all about the nuts!
Thank you for being such a great part of our holidays.
Hope you thoroughly enjoy yours!
