Vanilla Pear Mimosa Recipe

Create a mimosa to remember with our elegant, approachable Vanilla Pear Mimosa recipe from our estate chefs. It’s is an easy way to add sparkle to your next brunch or celebration!

This sparking mimosa-style cocktail pairs beautifully with the delicious pear and honeysuckle notes of our Biltmore Estate® Brut, but you can choose any of your favorite sparkling Biltmore wines to complement the flavors.

Our Biltmore Estate Brut, handcrafted in the traditional méthode champenoise, is a refreshing cuvée of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. It features a light bouquet with notes of pear, honeysuckle, and French baguette that continue on the palate with tastes of heirloom apples, honey, and tiny, even bubbles.

While classic mimosas feature roughly equal portions of just two ingredients–fruit juice and sparkling wine–we’ve added depth to ours with the smooth taste of vanilla vodka and some optional garnishes.
