A mimosa with strawberries is a delightful and festive version of the classic brunch cocktail. The vibrant pink hue from the strawberries, combined with the refreshing sparkle of champagne or sparkling wine and the citrusy tang of orange juice, makes it a perfect drink for celebrations, brunches, or casual get-togethers.
The foundation of this cocktail is simple, orange juice and sparkling wine. While the traditional mimosa uses regular orange juice, adding a twist of fresh strawberries enhances both the flavor and the visual appeal. You can either slice the strawberries and drop them directly into the glass for a pop of color, or blend them into a puree to mix directly with the orange juice for an added burst of berry sweetness.
For the sparkling wine, you can opt for champagne, prosecco, or any sparkling white wine you prefer. The key is to choose a wine with enough effervescence to balance the sweetness of the strawberries and the tanginess of the orange juice. The bubbles add a festive touch, making this mimosa the perfect drink for brunch, holiday gatherings, or any occasion that calls for a little celebration.
To prepare, simply pour the orange juice into your glass, top with sparkling wine, and add a few fresh strawberry slices or a spoonful of strawberry puree. The combination of fruity flavors and fizzy bubbles makes this drink refreshing and light. If you’re feeling creative, you can garnish your mimosa with a whole strawberry on the rim or a sprig of fresh mint for an added touch of elegance.
This romantic and delicious Mimosa with strawberries cocktail is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved ones. Combining the freshness of orange juice with the bubbly effervescence of champagne, this cocktail is a popular choice for special occasions.
The Mimosa with strawberries cocktail is a classic favorite for brunches, bridal showers, and of course, romantic occasions like Valentine’s Day. Its simplicity and delightful taste make it a popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts.
While the Mimosa cocktail is a delightful treat, it’s important to enjoy it in moderation due to its alcohol content.

First time trying this! I messed up and added too much champagne LOL. Still tasted great!
Other drinks are better! But if you love it, then good for you.
Yummy in my tummy. Can’t go wrong with mimosas! 💖
This recipe is super easy! Made it for my friend’s brunch and everyone loved it! 🍾🥂
Who knew a drink could be so fancy with just two ingredients! Even my boyfriend loved it. 🍾❤️
Right?! It’s so easy but looks so classy! I made it for my best friend’s birthday last week. She couldn’t believe how simple it was! 🍹✨
But isn’t it just orange juice and fizz? Seems kinda basic to me…🤔
I did exactly the recipe but mine went flat super quick. Maybe my glasses were warm? Also the strawberries sank, lol.
Strawberries on top = instant romance. Also I accidentally poured too much in the first glass and oops—still delicious.
Yum! Can’t wait to serve these on Valentine’s! ❤️
I don’t think Mimosas should have strawberries… seems kinda weird to me. Orange juice and champagne is enough!
This recipe was a bit too basic for me. I added some peach juice for extra flavor.
