Valentine’s Day mimosa with strawberries is the perfect drink to set the mood for a romantic celebration. This refreshing cocktail combines the crisp sparkle of champagne or sparkling wine with the bright, citrusy taste of orange juice and the sweet freshness of strawberries. It’s a simple yet elegant way to toast to love and enjoy a light, festive drink with your special someone.
The base of this mimosa is the traditional combination of orange juice and sparkling wine. The key to making it extra special is using freshly squeezed orange juice, which adds a natural sweetness and tanginess that pairs beautifully with the bubbles of the wine. Whether you choose prosecco, champagne, or any sparkling wine of your choice, the effervescence adds an air of celebration and sophistication.
The strawberries are the star of this Valentine’s Day twist. You can either add thinly sliced strawberries directly into the glass, or for a more visually striking presentation, rim the glasses with strawberry slices or blend them into a puree. If using whole strawberries, they not only add a pop of color to the drink but infuse the mimosa with a subtle berry sweetness as they float atop the bubbles. For a more vibrant flavor, you can muddle the strawberries before adding them, releasing their juices and adding a richer berry flavor.
To make your Valentine’s Day mimosa even more festive, consider garnishing with a sprig of fresh mint, a few extra strawberry slices, or even a sugared rim for a touch of sparkle. For a little extra romance, you can drop a small heart-shaped strawberry garnish or freeze strawberries into ice cubes to chill the drink without watering it down.
Whether you’re enjoying a brunch or celebrating over a romantic dinner, this strawberry-infused mimosa is the perfect drink to kick off a memorable Valentine’s Day. It’s light, refreshing, and packed with the kind of flavors that make love feel extra sweet. Cheers to love, laughter, and a sparkling Valentine’s Day!

So easy! My girlfriend loved it, but I used cheap champagne. Next time I’ll splurge!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! And hey, even cheap champagne can be tasty! Next time, treat yourself! 🍾
This was a hit at our Valentine’s brunch! The strawberries really make it special.
Strawberries? Why not blueberries? They’re better for drinks. Just saying.
Simple and delicious! I added a little peach puree for an extra kick. 🍑
I forgot the strawberries! Still tasted good but they really add to the flavor. Next time!
Strawberries are the best part! I’m glad it still tasted good, but definitely try it with them next time.
Isn’t champagne too… tacky for Valentine’s? I prefer red wine.
I think champagne adds a nice touch to any celebration! It’s light and festive. Red wine is great too, but mimosa just screams Valentine’s!
One cup of orange juice is enough! It’s too orange-y with 2 cups! Next time I’ll use less.
I didn’t have strawberries, so I used raspberries. Still turned out good!
I didn’t have champagne, used soda instead. Not the same, but still tasty! Just saying…
Best drink for a brunch! My friends loved it! Will make again.
I love mimosas! The perfect drink for any occasion, not just Valentine’s. Cheers! 🥂
I totally agree! Mimosas are great for brunch too! 🍊🍾
Ugh I think I messed it up. Made it too sweet 🥴. Can someone tell me how to fix that?
Tried this with prosecco instead and it was delicious! Thanks for the idea!
Yummy in my tummy! 🍊🍾 Can’t wait for next weekend!
Sounds delicious! I love mimosas, especially with strawberries. Perfect for brunch! 🥂
This was a hit at my Valentine’s brunch! So refreshing and easy to make. Will definitely do this again! ❤️
I don’t even like champagne but with orange juice it’s not bad. Still wouldn’t make every day tho.
Pretty basic, tho. I wanted somethin’ more fancy! Like, maybe add a splash of grenadine?
Yummy! I used my own homemade juice instead of store bought and it was amazing!
I don’t see how this is a recipe. Just pour stuff in a glass? Like, come on. 😒
I don’t get why people make a big deal about Mimosas. Just juice and cheap bubbly, right?
Great recipe, but I accidentally used pineapple juice! Still tasted good!
This mimosa recipe is sooo easy and delicious! Perfect for brunch on V-Day! 🌸
This mimosa is so refreshing! Perfect for breakfast on Valentine’s Day! ❤️
Yum! I’ve made this for every Valentine’s Day for years, can’t go wrong with mimosas!
Tried this for my anniversary and it was a hit! Everyone loved the strawberries. Will make again!
Tasted good but I think the ratio of juice to champagne was off. I prefer it more bubbly.
How do you mix it without messing up? I always spill! LOL
Is this even a real recipe? Just orange juice and sparkling wine? Anyone can do that.
This is such a simple but elegant drink! Perfect for Valentine’s Day brunch. ❤️
I totally agree! Mimosas are the best for brunch! 🍊🥂
OMG love mimosas! Also tried adding peach juice and it was yummy!
Just combine juice and champagne, real culinary skill here… 🙄 not impressed.
strawberries?? where are the lemons??!!
I thought this would be more fancy, but it’s just juice and wine really. Disappointed.
This was delightful. The strawberries really upped the presentation! Looks so fancy!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The strawberries really do make it look special. Perfect for sharing on a romantic evening! 🍓🥂
Looks fancy, for sure. But isn’t mimosa just orange juice and champagne? Could it really be that great?
Mimosas are super easy, but why use fresh strawberries? They’re such a mess! Just use frozen!
I made this recipe but added some peach juice instead of orange. It was great!
I made these for my gf and she loved it. Totally a keeper! 😍🥂
Yummmm!!! I added a splash of grenadine and it was even better! ❤️
Can you really call it a recipe? Just mix the 2 drinks…smh.
Why do people drink Champagne? Just drink soda! It′s cheaper and tastes good too! 🤔
Mimosas are overrated! I personally like a good old-fashioned drink instead.
I get what you mean! But mimosas are perfect for brunches, right? They can be pretty refreshing! 🍊🥂
