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 made this for my friends and they loved it! But I forgot to strain the syrup completely and it was a little lumpy. Still tasted good!
Glad to hear your friends loved it! Lumpy syrup or not, sounds delicious to me!
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!
This was a hit at my brunch! So refreshing and easy to make. Definitely a 5 star!
I think lemonade is too sour for this. What do you think?? 😂
Why strain it? I mean, I get it, but I’m lazy. I just blended the berries with sugar and water and skipped the sieve. Still came out good.
I think the lemonade was too sour for me… Maybe I’ll add more sugar next time.
Honestly, mimosas are overrated. Lemonade and strawberries don’t even go together.
I totally get what you mean! Lemonade and strawberries are an odd mix for a mimosa. I prefer orange juice anyway. 🤷♂️
Mine looked kinda thin even after simmering, so I added a tiny bit more sugar to bring it together. Still delicious, just not the same texture.
The method is solid. I strained it and pressed hard, like the recipe said, and it made a noticeable difference. Would make again.
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!
I don’t drink alcohol, can you make this non-alcoholic?
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!
Too sweet for my taste. Might try less sugar next time.
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!
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about mixing lemonade with prosecco, but it turned out light and refreshing. I used bottled lemonade and it still worked.
I tried it once, but I think my prosecco was too sweet and it tasted kinda funky. Maybe I shoulda used fresh lemonade instead? Still, pretty good idea though.
Same here—I figured the lemonade + prosecco thing would be weird, but yours sounds exactly like what I wanted: light and not too sweet. Thanks for confirming bottled lemonade works!
Nah, not a fan. Prosecco is too bubbly. Prefer just plain lemonade. This seems fancy for no reason.
I tried to strain it, but my fine mesh sieve was clogged and I lost some strawberry bits. Also, I accidentally put the prosecco in warm… somehow it was still okay? Lol. Flavor was great.
Easy to make and tastes amazing! My friends loved it! 🍓✨
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 love mimosas and I love lemon + berry. This feels fancy without being hard. Definitely making again for brunch.
I think lemon juice should be more or less to match the sweetness of the syrup. Just saying.
Meh. I found it too sour and the syrup took forever. Also, why not just use strawberry jam? Seems easier.
I don’t know about mixing lemonade with prosecco… Seems weird. I’m sticking with regular mimosas.
I get what you mean, but you gotta try it before you knock it! Lemonade and prosecco can be awesome together! 😋
Uhh strawberries cooked in sugar water… this is basically strawberry syrup with alcohol later, right? I guess that’s fine, but I wanted more “lemon” punch.
Strawberry syrup is like too much! Just give me plain prosecco, kthx.
I followed this recipe exactly, but mine turned out kinda watery. Did I do something wrong?
Maybe you added too much water when making the syrup? It should be thick when you strain it.
Pretty simple recipe and my guests loved it!
Might be good if u use diet sugar? I dunno who cares bout calories!
Mimosas should just be orange juice, this is just wrong. Boring!
This is nice, but it’s kinda sweet for my taste. I might reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup and see if it still thickens enough.
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!
Honestly, I think the strawberry syrup is too sweet. I prefer less sugar in my drinks.
I made this for my brunch and everyone loved it! So refreshing!!
Simple and delicious. My guests loved it! <3
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!
I dunno, it seemed kinda simple. Is there a way to make it more fancy? Seems like just lemonade and wine.
This was SUCH a fun brunch drink. The strawberry syrup is actually the star—tastes like summer. I used sparkling lemonade too and it still worked great.
Yesss! That strawberry syrup really does make it. I tried it once with sparkling lemonade and it was still perfect—so refreshing for brunch.
Honestly, I thought this was too sweet. I would prefer less syrup next time.
I dunno, I think the sweetness is what makes it special! Just drink it faster, right?
I agree! Wayyy too sweet for me. I like my drinks less sugary too.
This is an excellent twist on traditional mimosas! So refreshing!
Thanks for sharing this! I’m excited to try this new take on mimosas. Sounds delicious! 🍓
I think 10 minutes is short? My strawberries stayed kinda firm. Still delicious though, just needed more cooking time for me.
Lemon? Strawberries? Sounds yummy! Gonna try it this weekend. 🍓🍋
Why can’t I just buy mimosas? This is too complicated. Skip!
I just poured the prosecco straight in without the syrup. Didn’t have time to make it fancy! 😂
I thought the syrup was too sweet. Next time I’ll use less sugar or maybe try honey instead.
I subbed maple syrup for sugar and it turned out AMAZING! Best drinks I’ve made.
Pretty easy and honestly kind of fancy for how little work it is. I used store-bought lemonade and it still turned out great.
YUMMM!!! I made this for a party and everyone loved it. Definitely making again! 🍓🥂
Waste of time, could’ve just bought drinks instead of all this mess. 😒
Wow, this looks so refreshing! Can’t wait to try it for my brunch party.
Uhhh what is prosecco? Can I use regular champagne or it gonna be bad??
Is 10 minutes really enough for the syrup? I thought it needs longer to cook!
I dunno, why do we need to strain the syrup? Seems like waste. Just blend it!
Very easy to make! I added extra lemon juice because I like it tangy. Will make again!
Not sure if I did something wrong but the syrup ended up super runny. Flavor was there though, so I just used more of it in the glasses.
how long do u think this will last in the fridge? like a week? I wanna make ahead.
Simple and impressive. I made the syrup the night before and it saved so much time. Guests kept asking what it was.
I messed up the syrup. It turned into a jelly! Still tasted good tho.
Made these for a small get-together and everyone kept asking for the recipe. I was worried the syrup would be too thick, but straining fixed it nicely.
Meh, I thought it would be more tart. It’s pretty sweet for my taste, and the lemonade amount seems a little low compared to the syrup.
This is a great recipe! I made it for my brunch and everyone loved it! So refreshing!
I dunno… what if the strawberries are bad? And how can you even boil something sweet like that? Seems sketchy.
Sounds amazing! I love mimosas, can’t wait to try this recipe for my next gathering!
Mimosas should be orange juice, buddy. This is weird.
I tried to follow it exactly but I think my berries were less juicy? The syrup tasted good, yet it was more like strawberry water than syrup. Still drank it anyway.
Can we use frozen strawberries? Fresh ones are too expensive.
Lemonade + strawberries? Yum! Can’t wait to try this at my party!
That sounds delightful! Perfect for summer parties. I love how refreshing it must be!
I dunno, lemonade and strawberries? Seems a bit weird. Why not just have plain mimosas?
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.
2 cups strawberries + 1 cup sugar seems like a lot. Might be too sweet for me. Also prosecco for a lemonade vibe feels kinda fancy, but hey.
This is the best drink ever! So refreshing and perfect for brunch!
Super tasty but I think 2 tbsp syrup per glass might be too much for people who don’t like sweet drinks. I’d do 1 tbsp next time.
Eh, I added more lemonade and it turned out good. I think this recipe is like hit or miss.
Yum, but wheres the alcohol in this?! Prosecco ain’t got enough kick for me.
This seems a bit complicated for a drink. Just stick with regular mimosas, I say.
I think this sounds delicious! Regular mimosas are good, but trying new flavors makes it fun! 🍓🍋
Not sure about the ratios—mine came out kind of sour with only 3 tbsp lemonade. Next time I’ll taste the syrup and adjust the lemonade before adding prosecco.
Yeah, I noticed that too—3 tbsp lemonade can be pretty tart depending on the strawberries and how tangy your lemonade is. Tasting the syrup first sounds like the right move.
I accidentally used frozen strawberries and it worked! Might be slightly less vibrant, but still delicious. Would recommend for an easy weekend.
This was a total hit at my brunch! The combination of strawberry syrup and lemonade is genius. So refreshing! 🌟
This was so refreshing! Perfect for brunch. The strawberry syrup really adds a nice touch.
I’m glad you liked it! It’s definitely a fun drink for summer days!
Perfect for summer! I love how easy the syrup is to make. Thanks for sharing!
LOL, I used sparkling water instead of prosecco by mistake and it still tasted good! 😂
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about adding lemonade to prosecco, but it worked. The bubbles + tart syrup combo is dangerous.
Yum! Perfect summer drink. Made it for a picnic, and everyone loved it!
Way too sweet for me. Next time I’ll cut the sugar in the syrup or use a tart lemonade. Flavor was nice, just cloying.
Totally get that—strawberry syrup + prosecco can get cloying fast. I usually cut the sugar down (like 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup) and it still tastes great. A tart lemonade would help too!
Hmm I didn’t find it too sweet? Maybe my strawberries were less sweet? I did add the full 1 cup sugar though. Next time I’ll try half sugar like you said, or maybe less syrup per glass.
It was ok, but I thought it would be sweeter. Maybe I need to add more of the syrup next time?
Made it for my mom’s birthday and she was over the moon! Planning to try again soon.
My prosecco went flat immediately 😭 I think I over-stirred. Still tasted good, just looked kinda sad. Lesson learned: gentle is the move.
I followed it exactly, but my syrup never really thickened—more like strawberry juice. Not sure if I needed longer simmering?
Not sure why everyone loves this. It’s just lemonade and strawberries, right? Overrated!
These were such a hit at brunch! The strawberry syrup tastes way more “fresh” than I expected, and the prosecco makes it feel fancy without much effort.
Too hard to make! I burned my strawberries!! Who knew boiling strawberries was so tricky? 😩
This tastes like summer… in a cup. I added extra lemon zest and it made it brighter. Also, prosecco is kinda expensive where I live but worth it for parties.
I tried it but forgot the sugar and it was kinda tart. Lesson learned! 😅
Don’t worry, it happens! You should try it again with the sugar; it’ll taste so good! 🍓🥂
Lemonade AND mimosas? I mean what’s not to love?? A perfect summer drink!
My prosecco foamed up like crazy and spilled a little, lol. Still worth it. Maybe don’t over-stir right away.
Yum! I added some mint leaves for an extra pop! Highly recommend.
I tried this but I think I used too much sugar. It was really sweet.
Honestly, it was okay but a bit too sweet for my taste. I prefer less syrup.
I get that! You could always cut back on the sugar next time. Just adjust to your taste, it’s your drink after all!
The flavor is nice but 1 cup sugar is a lot. I cut it to 3/4 cup and it still tasted sweet enough for me.
Pretty tasty, but my syrup never really “thickened” like the recipe said. I simmered 15 min and it was still kinda runny. Maybe I needed less water?
Not sure if I did it wrong, but mine turned kind of cloudy after straining. The taste was good anyway—kinda like a strawberry soda.
Looks fancy but I made it and it didn’t come out that great. Maybe I messed it up?
Yummy! Perfect for summer days. 🍓🍋
Isnt prosecco a bit too fancy? I just use cheap sparkling wine.
This sounds amazing! Definitely trying it this weekend. 🍾
Um, do you HAVE to strain it? I skipped that part because I was lazy and it was still tasty… just thicker and a little seedy.
I always strain. The seeds are… kinda intense, lol. Also I feel like the syrup won’t pour right otherwise—unless you use a super strong spoon press? 🤔
You don’t *have* to, I guess—if you liked it thicker and seedy then keep your method! The straining just makes it smoother for a prettier drink.
Lemonade and champagne together? Genius! Never would’ve thought of that. Thanks!
I dunno… I thought the syrup was too sweet? Maybe less sugar next time?
Pretty good, but my syrup took longer than 10 minutes to thicken. I was stirring a lot though. Still ended up delicious with the prosecco.
Yeah I had that happen too—10 minutes wasn’t enough for me either. I think it depends on how juicy the berries are. I simmered a bit longer and it came out great!
Mine also took longer and I was barely stirring (oops). Still delicious tho—prosecco saved it 😅 Next time I’ll just keep an eye on it instead of the timer.
Strawberry syrup? What the heck is that?! Sounds fancy. Not for me.
Dis recipe looks easy peasy. Me no like cooking, but this looks simple enough!
OMG so good. I didn’t have fresh strawberries so I used frozen and it still worked. Not a big cook, but this was easy.
Very fizzy and fun! Perfect for brunch!
Totally agree! These are so refreshing! 😍
This was a hit at my brunch! So refreshing and easy to make. 🍓🥂
This is such a fun party drink. The strawberry syrup actually tastes like fresh berries, not fake candy vibes. I used fresh lemonade and it popped!
Omg yes!! That “not fake candy” strawberry part is everything. I might add a splash of sparkling water too for extra pop 😄
Not sure how I feel about strawberries in my mimosa. Kinda weird.
Too sweet for me. I’d cut the sugar in the syrup next time or use less syrup per flute.
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about putting lemonade with Prosecco, but it’s bright and not overly sweet. I’ll make again for sure.
I followed it pretty closely, but I think I simmered mine a few minutes too long—the syrup got a little thicker than I wanted. Still delicious though, and the color is gorgeous in the glass.
Kitchen science moment: boiling then simmering really concentrates the flavor. The sieve step is key—mine got silky. Great recipe.
Yes!! The boil/simmer combo really makes it pop. I used a fine sieve too and it came out nice and smooth 😄
Meh.
Made these for brunch and they were a hit. The strawberry syrup tastes way fresher than I expected—definitely worth straining and pressing. Prosecco + lemonade is a perfect tart-sweet combo.
I followed it exactly and it was good. Could’ve used a touch more syrup per glass though—next time I’ll do 3 tbsp.
I followed the steps exactly and it came out really good. Only thing: my syrup took a couple extra minutes to thicken, so don’t be alarmed if 10 is a bit short.
The combo of lemonade + prosecco + strawberry is honestly perfect. I used store-bought lemonade because I was lazy and still loved it.
I made this for a party and everyone asked for the recipe. I used fresh lemonade and it was super bright—perfect summer drink.
That sounds awesome—bright and summery is exactly what you want for a party! Did you notice if the fresh lemonade made it a lot tarter than store-bought?
Meh. Strawberry syrup is nice but the ratios feel small—2 tbsp syrup doesn’t give a strong strawberry flavor. I added more.
I get what you mean—2 tbsp sounds light if you’re expecting it to taste like straight strawberries. I usually go heavier too and it’s way better.
