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. However, the addition of fresh orange juice provides a dose of Vitamin C and other antioxidants. Opting for a freshly squeezed juice can enhance the health benefits of this cocktail.

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! 💖
Eh, mine came out a little too sweet and flat. Maybe I didn’t use the best champagne? I’ll try with a drier sparkling wine next time.
Oof, that’s frustrating! I’ve noticed orange juice brand makes a huge difference—some are super sweet. Next time try a “no pulp / not from concentrate” style or even a splash less OJ and top up with the wine.
Maybe your OJ was too sweet? Also I used prosecco once and it was kinda flat, so yeah—try a drier sparkling wine like you said. Quick question: did you use freshly chilled champagne? Warm bubbles can taste weird.
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.
So simple! I made this for two and it tasted bright and fancy without much work. The strawberry garnish was a cute touch.
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.
Did you need to mix the juice and champagn? I just poured them separately… it still worked?
I don’t understand the stirring gently part—champagne is already fizzy. I stirred like normal and it was fine.
Yeah, “stir gently” is kind of confusing. I think they mean just mix it without killing too much of the bubbles, but if yours turned out fine, you’re probably good.
Simple and refreshing! Great for a hot day.
Made this for my partner and it was a hit. Not too sweet, great brunch vibes. I used prosecco and it still worked perfectly. Definitely doing again on Valentine’s Day.
Aww love this! Brunch + Valentine’s Day is such a vibe. Glad prosecco worked too—good tip!
I tried it but mine tasted kinda flat. I think I should’ve used sweeter OJ? Also I forgot to garnish at first lol. Still was okay though.
I thought this was just for fancy parties. Who knew it was this easy? 😂
Right? It’s super simple! Perfect for brunch too! 🍊🥂
Wait, is that really champagne? I thought that was just fancy stuff. 🤔
This is cute but… do you really stir gently? I just shook mine in the pitcher and now it’s basically foam. Taste was ok though.
Good catch 😅 I should’ve said “stir just enough to combine” — if you shake it, the bubbles basically go into overdrive and you’ll get that foamy top. Next time try a slow, light stir (or just pour the champagne in gently) and it should settle faster. Glad the flavor was still good!
OMG, so good! Made them for my boyfriend and he can’t stop asking for more!
Simple but cute. I used refrigerated orange juice and it still worked great. Only thing: I’d say garnish right before serving because the berries start floating weird.
I didn’t have champagne, so I used soda water instead. Not the same but still tasty! 😂
Wow, this is so easy! I made it for a party and everyone loved it! 😍
Good basic recipe but next time I’m adding some peach juice to jazz it up a bit. 🌟
Peach juice? Never thought of that, but okay! 🤔 Can’t imagine it working tho.
That sounds like a delicious twist! I love peach juice in drinks. 🥳
I don’t see how it’s special. It’s just juice and bubbly. Meh.
I get what you’re saying, but sometimes simple is best! This is perfect for brunch with friends.
But it’s not just juice and bubbly! The strawberries make it special! You gotta try it at least once.
So tasty! I made it for my partner and we both enjoyed it. Will make again for sure!
I don’t get it—why add orange juice at all? Champagne should be enjoyed straight. Also, I spilled everywhere when pouring. 0/10 for my coordination.
I added some peach puree too, and wow! Way better than regular mimosas! My friends couldn’t get enough! 🍑🥂
Peach puree sounds delicious! I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for the tip! 🍑✨
Tastes great! But, like, isn’t champagne just really expensive sparkling wine? Why not just use soda instead?
Haha, you got a point! But champagne adds a special flair, ya know? It’s like a celebration in a glass. Soda just ain’t the same! 🍾
Okay but… “stir gently” is doing some heavy lifting here. I poured too fast and it got kinda foamy. Still tasty though.
Yeah, “stir gently” is definitely the whole trick. Foamy mimosa usually still tastes fine though—next time just pour the champagne in slower or whisk super light.
OMG YUM! I could drink this all day! Perfect for any celebration! 🌟
Doesn’t champagne make it go flat? I might just stick to soda 😒
Actually, champagne won’t go flat right away! If you pour it slow and serve it right, it’ll stay bubbly for a while. Don’t give up on mimosas! 🍾
Why so little ingredients? I feel like it needs more fruit or something. Not enough flavor for me.
Sorry but this didn’t work for me. I think 2 cups orange juice is too much—tastes kinda like orange soda. Also, I didn’t have strawberries so I used raspberries and it was weird.
Aw that sucks! I’ve noticed 2 cups OJ can definitely overpower it—more like orange soda if the juice is sweet. Next time try 1 cup orange juice and top off with the champagne. Also raspberries sound tasty but yeah, not quite the same vibe as strawberries for the garnish.
Really? Just juice and champagne? It’s just for drinking, not cooking! 🙄
Mimosas are amazing! Sometimes simple is best. Perfect for brunch, not for cooking! 🥂🍊
Meh. Too sweet for me. Maybe use less orange juice next time?
Eh. I don’t see what the fuss is about. Just orange juice and wine. 🤷♂️
I get what you mean, but sometimes simple is best! Mimosas are all about enjoying good company, right?
Why strawberries? They just sink! Still delicious tho. Will try with raspberries next time.
This recipe is so basic, do people really need instructions for this? Can you mess it up? Haha!!!
Easy and delicious! Just like my grandma used to make. 🍾
I tried this with sparkling water instead of Champagne. It was okay, but not the same.
Used cheap champagne for this and it was still a hit at the party! Will repeat for sure!
Looks cute but 2 cups OJ + a whole bottle seems kinda strong? Like it’ll go fast. Tastes good though.
I messed up and didn’t stir gently, it got kinda fizzy-over lol. Tasted fine, but presentation was rough. Also, strawberries were expensive here 😅
Loved the flavor, but I wish the recipe mentioned how sweet to go. My champagne was pretty dry, so it was more tart than romantic.
I put berries instead of strawberries and it was still good. Make sure to chill the champagne! 🍾
Berries instead of strawberries? That’s interesting! I never thought of that. Might give it a shot!
I followed it exactly and it came out bubbly and good. Next time I’m trying with a sweeter OJ or a sweeter Prosecco.
I don’t get the point—it’s basically orange juice and sparkling wine, right? Still, it looks pretty in the glass.
Meh. I tried it, but my strawberries sank and the drink tasted kinda flat. Maybe my wine was old. Not buying again.
Super simple, but can I use any other juice? Like apple? I really don’t like orange. Anyway, still good, I guess.
Uhhh, isn’t champange really expensive? How’s this a budget-friendly recipe? 🤔
I don’t know much about wines, but aren’t some champagnes ok priced? Maybe there’s a sale? 🤷♂️
I get what you mean! Champagne can be pricey. You could swap it with prosecco or cheap sparkling wine if you’re on a budget.
Simple but I think 2 cups orange juice for a whole bottle might be a little strong on the OJ side? I added less juice and it tasted more balanced. Otherwise good.
I agree—2 cups OJ can be a bit too orange-y. I usually do closer to 1.5 cups and it tastes way more “mimosa” and less “juice box.”
Good point! I actually used 2 cups and thought it was delicious, but maybe depends on how sweet your sparkling wine is.
I mean… it’s just OJ and bubbles. Not complaining, but $ for Champagne? I used prosecco and it turned out fine.
Honestly I agree—if it’s mainly OJ + bubbles, it’s not that serious. I’ve done it with prosecco too and it tasted great. The strawberries are the real MVP.
Super easy and delicious! I added some mango juice too and it was divine! Will make again!
How many servings does this make? Seems like not enough for a party. 🤔
Can’t believe how good this tastes with store-bought OJ. The instructions are spot on—gentle stirring matters!
it’s just orange juice and sparkling wine, what’s the big deal? 1 star, sorry.
I get what you mean, but it’s all about the presentation! Plus, it’s a classic for a reason. 🍾 5 stars for me!
My bubbles went flat after I let it sit for a bit—should’ve served immediately like it says. Still tasty, just not as fun.
Made this for our Valentine’s brunch—so easy and honestly tastes fancy. The orange + bubbles combo is perfect, and the strawberries make it look like a restaurant drink.
Aww that sounds perfect—simple but looks fancy! I love the orange + bubbles combo too. I’m stealing this for our brunch 😄
I thought this would be too sweet, but it was refreshing! We had it for breakfast and it was great!
Nah, sounds too sweet tbh. Shouldn’t breakfast be something more filling? Just orange juice and champagne??
Glad you liked it! I wasn’t sure about the sweetness either but I gave it a try. It’s now my favorite breakfast drink!
This is basically juice with fancy wine, right? Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably good, but calling it a recipe feels like stretching.
Kinda, yeah. Like… orange juice + bubbles = breakfast drink. But “recipe” just means steps, and these are clear. I’d maybe add a splash of sweetener if your OJ is too tart.
I get what you mean, but mimosa *is* kind of a cheat recipe. Still, it’s a classic for a reason—quick, tasty, and looks fancy for date night.
A bit too sweet for my taste. Maybe less OJ next time?
I think the sweetness is part of the fun! But I get you, maybe just a splash less OJ could work.
I hate orange juice. Can you use apple instead? Seems like a waste otherwise.
Um, where’s the recipe for a white wine spritzer? This is misleading.
Yeah, I thought this was about white wine spritzers. Just a tad confusing.
This is definitely not a spritzer! But who doesn’t love a mimosa? 🍾
This is basically a fancy drink hack. Nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn’t call it “Valentine’s” without at least adding more garnish or syrup.
Ugh, too much fizz! Makes me burp like crazy! 😬
I used regular sparkling wine and it was way too strong at first sip. Maybe I should’ve stirred more gently or used more orange juice.
That makes sense—Champagne can be pretty punchy on the first sip. I’d definitely try a bit more orange juice next time and definitely stir gently like the recipe says. Also, letting it sit 1–2 minutes can mellow it out a little.
Strawberries were a nice touch! I sprinkled some sugar on them too.
This mimosa was a hit at my Valentine’s brunch! So refreshing! 🥂
Such a classic! Perfect for Valentine’s Day celebrations. Loved it!
Absolutely agree! Mimosas are a must for any special occasion. 🌹
I dunno… kinda basic? I guess it’s alright for a brunch, but not that special.
Honestly, not my fave drink, but the strawberries made it nice.
I get that! Not everyone loves mimosas. Maybe try it with a different fruit next time? Like peaches or raspberries, they’re good too!
This is super easy! I made it for my husband on Valentine’s Day and he loved it! Cheers! 🍾
Sounds delicious! I think I’ll try this for my anniversary too. Thanks for sharing!
This fizz is just perfect for my valentine’s brunch! Everyone loved it!
I’m skeptical it needs only orange juice and champagne… but it’s actually good. I guess the ratios matter—2 cups to a whole bottle seems pretty strong on the bubbly side.
Yeah, I was skeptical too—“OJ + champagne” sounds too simple. But the ratio makes it work. 2 cups to a whole bottle is pretty forgiving and not overly sweet.
Strawberries make it fancy. I like it! But is there a non-alcoholic version? My aunt can’t have champagne.
I loved how quick this was—like 5 minutes and done. I served it at brunch and everyone kept asking for the recipe.
Right?? I tried it at brunch too—so fast and tastes fancy without the effort. The strawberry garnish is the perfect touch.
Not gonna lie, I messed up and poured it too fast. It foamed like crazy. Still tasted good though, just looked like a science experiment. Will do slower next time.
So easy and it tastes so fancy for basically no work. The strawberry garnish is adorable—perfect for Valentine’s morning.
Totally agree—this is the easiest “fancy” drink ever. The strawberry garnish makes it look like you tried way harder than you did 😊
This recipe is missing some flavor. I put in some raspberry syrup and it was better!
Super easy and actually tastes fancy. The orange juice makes it bright and not too strong. Strawberries on top are such a cute touch for Valentine’s.
So cute! I love that it’s simple but still feels fancy. The orange juice combo sounds perfect for a lighter mimosa—adding strawberries is such a nice touch.
This mimosa is so refreshing! Perfect for Valentine’s brunch. 🍊🥂
I love mimosas! Just made them for brunch last weekend. So easy and tasty! 🥰
Isn’t champagne just super expensive? I wonder if it would taste fine with soda instead? 🤔
Absolutely loved this recipe! Perfect for our Valentine’s brunch. The strawberries add a nice touch. 5 stars!
This seems too simple. Does it really taste that good? I always thought mimosas were just for brunch.
So glad you enjoyed it! The strawberries really do make it special. Cheers! 🥂
My bad grammar but: it was yummy!! The strawberries on top were so cute. Will make again for sure.
No worries about the grammar—glad you enjoyed it! 🍓✨ The strawberries really do make it extra cute. Definitely want to try this again too!
So simple and honestly perfect for Valentine’s Day—sweet, bubbly, and looks fancy with the strawberries.
Not gonna lie, it’s basically juice + bubbly lol. Still, the strawberry garnish is a nice touch. Does it need more sweetness though or is the orange juice enough?
Agreed! This is such an easy “looks fancy” Valentine drink. The strawberries make it feel extra special.
To be honest, I thought this would be hard to make, but it was super simple. Will make again! 👍
Really? I thought mimosas needed more ingredients than that. Seems too simple to be good.
I was shocked at how easy it was too! Great recipe for a special occasion. 🌸
I followed it exactly and it was… fine. Kinda sweet for me. Maybe next time I’ll use a bit less OJ.
1 bottle champagne? That’s way too much for me. I guess I’ll half it. Also I’m not sure why it’s called mimosa if it’s basically orange juice with bubbles… unless I’m missing something.
Aren’t mimosas just for breakfast? A little odd for Valentine’s Dinner… but ok.
Pretty good! I might reduce the orange juice a little next time because mine tasted slightly more like orange drink than mimosa. Still cute though.
Totally agree—if you go too heavy on the OJ it loses that “mimosa” vibe. Next time I’ll try cutting it down like you suggested. 🍊✨
I followed it exactly but maybe I stirred a little too aggressively—mine got fizzy foam everywhere 😅 Still delicious though. Would make again, just go gentler on step 2.
I followed it exactly, but I used prosecco instead of champagne and it still worked great. Light, bubbly, and not too sweet.
I used orange juice (not fresh squeezed) and a cheap sparkling wine, and it still tasted great. Definitely a crowd-pleaser.
Y’all know champagne’s just wine, right? Like, why not just drink wine?
Made this for brunch and everyone loved it. I used chilled orange juice and it came out perfect—really refreshing.
Simple and quick! This is my go-to for brunch parties now. 💖🍾
I don’t understand why people make this. Just pour some orange juice into the glass and call it a day! 🤷♀️
Super simple but still feels fancy—perfect for Valentine’s. The strawberries make it look like you tried way harder than you did. 🍓✨
Not gonna lie, I’m skeptical about mixing OJ with champagne. But I followed the steps and it turned out way better than expected. Still… use good champagne, not the cheapest stuff.
I was skeptical too—OJ + champagne sounds like a weird combo—but yeah, it surprisingly works. I also grabbed a decent bottle and it made a big difference.
I don’t get why everyone is making mimosas. They seem so basic! 🤷♂️
They’re not basic! They’re refreshing and fun. What do you prefer, something more complicated?
Mimosas are classic for a reason! Perfect for brunch with friends. 🍊🥂
Could be dangerous lol—drinks go down fast. I followed the steps exactly and it was tasty, though I wish it were a bit sweeter.
Haha totally—mimosa confidence is real until it hits 😅 I’ve found adding a splash more orange juice (or a sweeter OJ) brings the sweetness up without changing much. Glad you followed it exactly!
Wow. This is honestly the best low-effort drink I’ve ever made for guests. Everyone asked for the recipe.
Yum! I decided to make it for my brunch and it turned out great. Everybody loved it! 😍
I dunno… mimosas are just fancy juice to me. 🤷♂️ Maybe I’ll stick with coffee.
That sounds amazing! I love mimosas for brunch too! 🍾🥂 What other dishes did you serve?
just mix juice and champagne??? like is this a recipe? LOL. anyone can do this.
Delicious! My girlfriend loved it! Perfect for Valentine’s Day! ❤️
This is so easy! I made it for my partner and they loved it. Definitely a keeper! 🍾❤️
Sounds delicious! Can’t believe something so simple can impress. Will try this for my spouse too!
I didn’t have strawberries, so I used blueberries. Still yum! 😍
Not sure why everyone loves mimosas. They’re just orange juice and bubbly, right? Meh.
Too much juice, not enough sparkle. Feels flat. Prefer my mimosas with more bubbly!
Too many bubbles! I can’t drink it, my tummy hurt. 😂
I didn’t have champagne so I used soda instead. It was okay but a totally different drink. Don’t recommend
Could use more instructions? Like do you chill the juice first? Mine was cold enough but not ice-cold, if that makes sense.
Good point! I don’t chill the juice *separately*—I just use chilled orange juice (straight from the fridge) and chilled champagne. If yours wasn’t ice-cold, that’ll definitely make it feel less “sparkly-refreshing,” so chilling both helps. You’re right that the instructions could be clearer—serve immediately after mixing too.
I don’t drink sparkling wine… can I use soda? Need suggestions!
Really simple recipe but I added a splash of grenadine for color. It was pretty!
Too much like a regular mimosa. Not impressed. Need more pizazz!
The bubbles from the champagne made me feel fancy! But I feel like it needed more juice than what you said.
This is less a recipe and more an instruction manual lol. But it’s actually kinda genius—2 ingredients and you’re basically a romantic.
Mimosa? You mean just juice and fizz? Not a real cocktail! 1 star.
Not gonna lie, it’s basically orange juice + champagne. Still, the strawberries make it feel special.
I made this last night. It tasted great, but I used way too much orange juice and it got kinda flat. Next time I’ll measure better.
Super easy and honestly looks fancy. The strawberry garnish is a nice touch—makes it feel way more “Valentine” than just orange juice + bubbles.
This was so easy to make! Perfect for our brunch! 🥂
I added a splash of grenadine too. Made it sweeter! 🍹
Grenadine? That’s an interesting twist! I might try that next time. 😍
Pretty straightforward, but I added a splash more OJ and it was less fizzy than I expected. Still good though, just next time I’ll go lighter.
Thanks for the tip! I always add a little extra OJ too—good to know it’ll make it less fizzy. Next time I’ll go lighter and serve right away.
Not gonna lie I expected more effort for “Valentine’s.” It’s just juice and champagne. That said, it’s still kinda genius and pretty fast.
Wait… strawberries on top? That part I love. But my juice always gets flat, so I add more bubbles at the end. Still good tho!
Honestly same—“Valentine’s” had me picturing something fancier. But this is fast and tastes cute. Genius for a last-minute plan.
I thought mimosas were more complicated?! This recipe was so simple, I was shocked. Definitely my go-to now! 😍
Super simple and honestly tastes like a fancy brunch without the stress. The strawberry garnish is a nice touch—made it feel extra Valentine-y.
Totally agree—this is such a low-effort way to feel fancy. The strawberry garnish makes it look way more “Valentine’s” than just plain bubbles 😊
Sounds good but I’m confused—do you use cold OJ or warm? I did warm once and it tasted kinda flat lol. Still, I like the idea of dropping strawberries in there.
This is the easiest “recipe” I’ve ever made. My partner loved it and I didn’t have to stress. 10/10 would do again.
Super easy and honestly tastes fancy for basically zero effort. The orange + bubbles is such a classic combo. Added a few extra strawberries and it looked so cute—served immediately like the instructions say.
I dunno, the champagne I got was kinda cheap and the mix didn’t seem right. Maybe it’s just me? 2/5
Eh. Mine went a little flat way too quickly because I stirred too vigorously. Also, the strawberries sank for some reason.
Good to know! I always end up stirring a bit too much too. Might try “barely” swirling next time so it doesn’t go flat so fast.
Mine didn’t do that… or maybe I did something diff. The strawberries sank cuz they weren’t cut small enough? lol. Still tasted good tho.
The instructions are super barebones. What size bottle? Do I chill everything first? I guess it worked though.
