Strawberry Mimosa Recipe
Description
Fresh strawberries are blended with orange juice and honey to create a smooth, sweet base that is then strained to remove seeds and pulp. The resulting juice is poured into champagne flutes and topped gently with sparkling wine to maintain the bubbles and create a layered effect. The option to add honey lets the drinker control the sweetness, catering to both dry and sweet preferences. The drink’s effervescence and fruity profile make it suitable for social gatherings and special occasions.
Pouring slowly is necessary since the sparkling wine bubbles vigorously when combined with the strawberry juice. Serving glasses can be rimmed with sugar by dipping in water and sugar for added sweetness and presentation. The recipe yields enough strawberry juice for around eight mimosas, with the sparkling wine quantity adjusted accordingly based on glass size.
This mimosa provides a refreshing variation that pairs well with brunch dishes or light appetizers, enhancing celebrations where a sparkling alcoholic drink is desired.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries green tops removed, chopped
- 1 cup orange juice
- ¼ cup honey see notes
- 1 bottle sparkling wine
Instructions
- Place the strawberries, orange juice, and (if using) honey into your blender and blend on high until smooth.
- Strain the strawberry juice through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the strawberry juice between champagne flutes then carefully top with sparkling wine. It will bubble up a lot so go slow!
Notes
- Adjust the addition of honey to suit your preference for sweetness or dryness in the cocktail.
- This recipe yields about 2 cups of strawberry juice, enough for approximately 8 mimosa servings.
- Rim flute glasses with sugar by dipping in water and then sugar for extra flavor and presentation.
