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! 💖
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.
Did you need to mix the juice and champagn? I just poured them separately… it still worked?
Simple and refreshing! Great for a hot day.
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. 🤔
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 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?
