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! 🌟
