Sunrise Moscato Mimosas

Sunrise Moscato Mimosas are made to serve for that special brunch or favorite occasion. Not only are they tasty, but they are so impressive and pretty! Sunrise Moscato Mimosas | Mama Harris' KitchenAbout a year ago I held a fun brunch where a few of my friends joined me for a little cake decorating girls brunch. We had a lot of fun and I learned a thing or two about frosting tips and different ways to decorate and use fondant. During this little brunch I set out a few different snacks and I also had everything on hand for these mimosas. I had first tried this bubbly red moscato a few years ago when I created a variety of wine pairings and I just fell in love with it.Whenever I have little occasions I make sure to pick up a bottle, so I wanted to try it in mimosas for a little red twist. It was a happy accident that we discovered if you pour these mimosas in a certain order you’re left with a sunrise effect.

Sunrise Moscato Mimosas | Mama Harris' KitchenI’ve been meaning to share the recipe every since, especially after sharing a few of the photos from the party I immediately received questions on how to make this drink and what was in it. It’s just so lovely and the colors definitely makes an impression. Honestly, I really loved these drinks and they were such a hit at our little party. I plan on making these again Christmas morning, Mother’s Day, and any other fun occasion that may occur!

Ingredients for Sunrise Moscato Mimosas:

  • 1/3 orange juice (no pulp)
  • 2/3 bubbly or sparkling red moscato
  • splash cranberry pomegranate juice
  • cranberries, for garnish
  • orange slices, for garnish

Directions:

    This looks really good, Dawn. Maybe I will try it with maybe a riesling or vouvray since moscato is a bit too sweet for me.

    These look incredible and since I’ve been rocking a sweatshirt that says “running kettle bells yoga and mimosas” you know these are on my must-try list! Yum!

    Dawn,
    It is such a treat when I attend a party with a signature cocktail. Bonus points for presentation–and your mimosas fit the bill on both accounts. What a terrific idea!
    Thanks!

    Tried it- tasted good but the orange juice and moscato mixed together I poured it REAL slow too. Bummer!

    I also poured slowly per the directions and it mixed together. Any ideas as to how to get the sunrise effect are welcomed.

      Orange juice first, then the moscato, then the cran juice. Pour slowly so it doesn’t mix and don’t stir.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

#OnlyVidalia Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile @mamaharriskitchen. Also make sure to grab some @vidaliaonions1 from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
