Lemonade Mimosas with Strawberry Syrup bring a refreshing twist to the classic mimosa, making them the perfect cocktail for brunch, celebrations, or a relaxing afternoon. Combining the tartness of lemonade, the sweetness of homemade strawberry syrup, and the effervescence of sparkling wine or champagne, these mimosas are an irresistible, bubbly treat.
To start, make the strawberry syrup. You’ll need fresh strawberries, sugar, and a splash of water. Combine the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan, then cook over low heat until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture thickens. Once done, strain the syrup to remove the solids and let it cool completely. This strawberry syrup adds a burst of sweetness to your drink, balancing the tartness of the lemonade perfectly.
For the mimosas, fill each glass halfway with freshly squeezed lemonade. Choose a lemonade that’s freshly made, not overly sweet, to keep the balance between flavors just right. Add a spoonful of the cooled strawberry syrup to each glass, adjusting the amount based on your desired sweetness. Finally, top off each glass with chilled champagne or sparkling wine, allowing the bubbles to mix gently with the fruity, tangy mixture.
Garnish the Lemonade Mimosas with Strawberry Syrup with a few fresh strawberry slices or a twist of lemon on the rim for an extra touch of elegance. You can also add a few mint leaves for a pop of color and a subtle, fresh aroma.
These mimosas are ideal for any occasion that calls for a light and festive cocktail. The sweetness of the strawberry syrup complements the citrusy lemonade, while the champagne brings a fizzy, celebratory touch. Whether you’re hosting a brunch or simply enjoying a sunny day, these Lemonade Mimosas with Strawberry Syrup are sure to be a hit with everyone.

OMG this is sooo good!!! I followed the recipe exactly and everyone loved it! 💖
Lemonade? Strawberries? How can that even taste good? I think I’ll pass.
Easy to make, but I wish it was sweeter. Might add more sugar next time! 🤔
What if I don’t have prosecco? Can I use regular champagne? 🤔
I dunno, I feel like mimosas should be just orange juice. This seems kinda weird…
I totally get what you’re saying, but trust me, adding strawberries takes it to a whole new level! You should give it a try!
Mimosas need orange juice, period. This seems just like fancy juice or something. Why mess with a classic?
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it for brunch with my friends. 🍹
This mimosa is a game changer! I used frozen berries and it still turned out delish. 5 stars!!!
Yum! Just made this for my mom’s birthday party, HUGE hit! Thanks for sharing.
That sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it for my next gathering. Thanks for the recipe!
Waaay too sweet for my taste! Used half the sugar, but still, I prefer a tart drink. But cute idea!
Love it! Perfect for summer brunches. I used frozen strawberries and it worked just as well! 👍
Lemonade and champagne? Who thought of that?! Brilliant! 🍾🍋
It was good, but I think I added too much sugar. Next time I’ll cut down on it.
I had no idea making syrup was this easy! My guests loved it, will definitely make again.
This is the best drink for brunch! Refreshing and sweet! 🍓🍾
Why do we need to simmer strawberries? Can’t we just mash them?
So refreshing but kinda sweet, maybe use less lemonade? 🤔
Eh, not my fav. I thought it would be more fizzy, but it just tasted like juice.
I totally get what you mean! I thought it would be more bubbly too. Maybe I should’ve added more prosecco?
Juice? Nah, this is supposed to be a classy drink! Just gotta get the proportions right, I reckon.
Super easy recipe! My friends loved it at the party! Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Perfect for summer parties! 🍹
5 stars! Quick and delicious! Perfect for summer!
I tried it but it was too sweet for me. I prefer my drinks less sugary.
This is a delicious twist on mimosas! The strawberry syrup is a game changer! 🍓🍾
The syrup is kinda watery, do I need to add more sugar? 😕
Amazing! 🍋 I didn’t have strawberries so I used raspberries and it was still good!
Why do you need sugar when the strawberries are already sweet? Just curious.
Bleh, didn’t turn out like I hoped. Might be my fault though.
Yum! Just made these for my sister’s bridal shower. Everyone went crazy for them!
I think lemonade is too sour for this. What do you think?? 😂
I think the lemonade was too sour for me… Maybe I’ll add more sugar next time.
I don’t know about mixing lemonade with prosecco, seems odd. Is it good?
It’s surprisingly good! The sweetness of the strawberry syrup balances the fizz nicely. Give it a try!
Yesss! This is perfect for summer gatherings! 🍹🍓
Yummy! Made it for a party and everyone loved it! Will make again!
Looks fancy, but my syrup turned out too thin. What did I do wrong? 😫
I tried it and it was just too sweet for me. I think I’ll stick with the classic mimosa. 🤷♂️
Mmm! I made these for a party and everyone loved them. Definitely making again! ☀️🥂
So glad to hear it was a hit! 🍓🍾 I made them too and people couldn’t get enough! Perfect for summer parties!
Mmm… I wasn’t sure about strawberries in my mimosa, but this was amazing!
It looked nice but tasted strange. I don’t think I will make it again.
Lemonaide?? Not lemonade? Lol. But looks good!
Made it with frozen strawberries because that’s all I had. Still yum!
Frozen strawberries are clever! Glad it worked for you. Can’t wait to try it myself!
I didn’t have prosecco, used cheap sparkling wine. Still tasted great!
Nah, not a fan. Prosecco is too bubbly. Prefer just plain lemonade. This seems fancy for no reason.
I tried this and it didn’t turn out like the picture. The syrup was too thin. Maybe I did something wrong?
This recipe looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it at my next brunch!
I’m so glad you think so! Adding it to my brunch menu now! 🥂
Looks yummy, but is it really that easy? I mess up simple drinks sometimes…
I think lemon juice should be more or less to match the sweetness of the syrup. Just saying.
Strawberry syrup is like too much! Just give me plain prosecco, kthx.
Pretty simple recipe and my guests loved it!
Mimosas should just be orange juice, this is just wrong. Boring!
Stawberries are overrated, can we use blueberries instead? Just saying.
This is WAY too sweet for my taste. I could barely drink it!
Maybe try using less syrup next time? It can be adjusted for sweetness!
I made this for my brunch and everyone loved it! So refreshing!!
I tried to make this, but my syrup didn’t thicken… What did I do wrong?
Sounds like you might not have simmered it long enough. It should thicken as it cooks down. Try again!
I bet you forgot to stir it! That can mess with the thickening. I always mix it constantly!
Easy to make and sooo delicious! The strawberry syrup is the best part!
I don’t know… sounds kinda basic. Can’t there be something more exciting than syrup? Like, chocolate maybe?
I totally agree! The strawberry syrup is to die for! Did you try it with anything else?
This recipe is amazing! So refreshing for summer gatherings. I added some mint which made it even better! 🌱
So refreshing and perfect for summer brunches! 🍹
I just made this anddddd it was a hit!! Thanks for sharing!
Lemon? Strawberries? Sounds yummy! Gonna try it this weekend. 🍓🍋
I dunno, why do we need to strain the syrup? Seems like waste. Just blend it!
Mimosas should be orange juice, buddy. This is weird.
Absolutely loved this! The strawberry syrup is amazing. Will make it again!
I agree! The syrup is to die for. Perfect for summer parties!
Strawberry syrup? Sounds weird! Not sure about mixing that with champagne.
