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!

I accidentally bought “champagne vinegar” once (long story) so I was nervous, but this recipe is safe. Haha. Real champagne/sparkling wine is key. Turned out tasty and not too strong.
Totally agree—real sparkling wine makes a huge difference. Love the quick 4-step format too. 🍓🥂
Looks fancy but I don’t like champagne, can I use soda instead?
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.
Can you sub the orange juice for pineapple juice? My partner hates orange juice.
Sure, that should work! Pineapple juice will give it a nice twist. Just make sure the sweetness levels match your taste!
Simple and delicious! I added a little peach puree for an extra kick. 🍑
This was a hit at our Valentine’s brunch! Super easy to make and refreshing. 🍊🥂
Glad to hear it was a hit! It’s such a simple yet classy drink. Perfect for any occasion. 🥂
Mine tasted a bit too sweet, so next time I’ll use slightly less orange juice. Still cute though!
This is the easiest drink ever! Perfect for my Valentine’s brunch. Love it!
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.
Super simple and honestly perfect for a Valentine’s brunch. The orange + bubbles combo tastes bright and not too sweet—my guests went back for more. The strawberry garnish is such a cute touch too.
I’m skeptical about the orange juice + bubbles combo… like won’t it get flat fast? Also do you use chilled oj or warm? Might try once though.
Aww this is exactly what I wanted—bright, not overly sweet. I also love the strawberry garnish; it makes it look so fancy without effort.
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!
I accidentally shook it (instead of gently stirring) and it got foamy, but it settled. Flavor was still good.
One cup of orange juice is enough! It’s too orange-y with 2 cups! Next time I’ll use less.
I tried this and it was okay. I think I added too much champagne and it tasted off.
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…
This mimosa was a hit at our brunch! The combo of orange juice and champagne is classic. Loved it!
Mimosas are the best! Perfect for any celebration. 🍾🍊
Wow. two ingredients. I swear it’s gonna taste like grocery store brunch. But like… in a good way.
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! 🍊🍾
Strawberries I love! But we had to use raspberries cuz the store was out of strawberries. Still good tho!
Ugh I think I messed it up. Made it too sweet 🥴. Can someone tell me how to fix that?
This is such a simple and classic recipe! Perfect for Valentine’s Day brunch. Loved it!
Tried this with prosecco instead and it was delicious! Thanks for the idea!
I can’t believe how simple this is! But is it really a mimosa without some other juice? Maybe add a little grapefruit?
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 made this for friends and it went fast. I used prosecco instead of champagne and it still tasted great.
I don’t even like champagne but with orange juice it’s not bad. Still wouldn’t make every day tho.
Ugh, I accidentally mixed my drinks and put vodka in instead of champagne. Ruined my whole morning. 🙁
Oh no! That’s a bummer! Vodka in a mimosa sounds like a disaster. Maybe try it again with the right drink?
Champagne over vodka anyday! Just try again and it’ll be perfect!
Can I use any kind of juice? Asking for a friend who don’t like orange.
Yum! I loved this recipe! I added a bit of peach schnapps and it rocked! 🍑✨
Peach schnapps? That’s a creative twist! I might try that next time. 🍑👍
I don’t think that’s a good idea! Stick to the original recipe, please. ✋
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!
How do you even garnish with strawberries? I just tossed ’em in and it looked messy. Still tasted good tho! 😂
You gotta slice ’em up! Makes it look fancy and not just a pile of fruit. 😅
I don’t see how this is a recipe. Just pour stuff in a glass? Like, come on. 😒
Simple and elegant! I used fresh squeezed orange juice and added a splash of grenadine for color. So pretty! ❤️
This is less a recipe and more a suggestion. I mean, mixing orange juice and bubbles is like… basic math. But it’s also good, so I can’t complain.
I don’t get why people make a big deal about Mimosas. Just juice and cheap bubbly, right?
This mimosa recipe was super easy! Perfect for Valentine’s brunch. Will definitely make again!
Easy? I don’t know, mixing orange juice and champagne seems too simple. Is it even a recipe?
So glad you liked it! Mimosas are the best for brunch, especially with strawberries. 🥂
I forgot the strawberries. Still tasted great! Not even mad. 🍹
But like, the strawberries are supposed to be in there, right? 🤔
Glad it still turned out good! Strawberries were never the main star anyway. 🍊🍾
This recipe is too easy. Who needs instructions for pouring juice and champagne? 🤷♂️
Looks fancy, but is it really a recipe if it only has 2 ingredients? 🤔
Great recipe, but I accidentally used pineapple juice! Still tasted good!
Yum! Best drink for Valentine’s Day!
But isn’t Champagne super expensive? You can just use soda instead right?
Totally agree! A mimosa is the perfect way to celebrate love! ❤️
Wait… do you mix them in the pitcher and then serve right away? I tried letting it sit and it got kinda watery. But when fresh it’s bright and good.
This mimosa recipe is sooo easy and delicious! Perfect for brunch on V-Day! 🌸
Orange juice but no mimosas for me, I prefer my drinks straight! 😂
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!
Made it for my gf, she loved it! I’m no bartender but it worked out well.
Just 3 ingredients? Where’s the fun in that? Smh.
Too simple if ya ask me. Where’s the creativity? Just juice and bubbly, you could do that with anything! 👎
I get what you mean, but sometimes simple is best! Plus, it’s super easy for a brunch party. 🎉
Pfft, who cares? It’s about the taste! And mimosas are classic! 🥂
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.
Idk, I think champagne is already sweet enough—adding orange juice made it too sugary for me. Also my strawberries sank. Tasted okay though.
Yeah I get that—mimosas are already on the sweet side. If you used a sweeter OJ, it can tip over fast. Sorry the strawberries sank too; mine do that sometimes if they’re too heavy or the drink sits.
This is less of a recipe and more of a vibe 😂 Still, it worked. I’d suggest chilling both the juice and wine first so it doesn’t taste flat.
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!
So easy and honestly looks super fancy. The strawberry garnish is a really cute touch—perfect for Valentine’s.
Just combine juice and champagne, real culinary skill here… 🙄 not impressed.
Who needs a recipe? Just pour juice and wine together! But the strawberries are a nice touch.
strawberries?? where are the lemons??!!
I thought this would be more fancy, but it’s just juice and wine really. Disappointed.
Super refreshing! I used mixed berries instead of strawberries. Still so good!
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!
Simple but solid. I’d maybe chill everything beforehand, because warm sparkling wine just feels wrong.
I made these for my gf and she loved it. Totally a keeper! 😍🥂
This is NOT real mimosa, where’s the peach puree? C’mon, people! #fail
Made it last night and it fizzed up nicely. I stirred gently like the instructions said, and nothing overflowed. Garnished with strawberries and it was way cuter than store-bought.
Yummmm!!! I added a splash of grenadine and it was even better! ❤️
Way too simple, I expected something grander for a special occasion. Maybe add a splash of grenadine?
Mimosas are overrated, I made this and it tasted just like orange soda to me.
I disagree! Mimosas have a special vibe with brunch. It’s not just about the taste, it’s about the whole experience! 🥂
Orange soda?! What did you did wrong? I think you missed the champagne part! That’s where the magic is. 🙄
This was perfect for my Valentine’s brunch! So fresh and fruity.
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! 🍊🥂
I wasn’t sure about mixing champagne with orange juice. It felt kinda odd, but I tried it and it’s not bad. Guess I’m a fan now. 🤷♂️
Champagne and orange juice is like the best combo ever! You made a great choice! 🍾🍹
I still don’t understand why people like mimosas. It’s just fancy brunch juice. 🤔
I used non-alcoholic sparkling juice instead, and it was still delicious! Great for the kiddos.
That’s a great idea! My kids love juice, and it’s perfect for family gatherings.
I made these for my girlfriend, and she loved it! Major brownie points for me! ❤️
Tried it with watermelon juice instead of orange, not the best idea. Stick to orange!
So simple and honestly perfect for Valentine’s—sweet, bubbly, and the strawberry garnish makes it look way fancier than it is.
I didn’t have real champagne, just “sparkling” something, but it still tasted great. I also used half orange juice and half white cranberry—delicious.
I think you might’ve changed the drink too much 😅 Champagne + OJ is already sweet; adding cranberry juice could make it tart. But hey if it tasted good, who cares.
Omg same—used sparkling wine that wasn’t “real” champagne and it honestly still slapped. I love the orange juice + cranberry combo too!
Yummm! I added some peach juice too. It was like a whole new drink! Cheers!
SO EASY!! I did 1 bottle and 2 cups exactly and it was perfect for 4 flutes. Also I served it immediately like it says—no one likes flat bubbles.
I tried it but I used “sparkling water” instead of champagne and it tasted… kind of sad 😅 Next time I’ll get the real stuff. Still pretty easy though.
Yes!! This is exactly how I do it too—quick, simple, and not flat. The 2 cups + 1 bottle combo is the sweet spot.
5 stars! Super easy, impressive and refreshing. Perfect for V-Day with the hubs. Will definitely make again!
This sounds delightful! I might try it for my anniversary too. Great idea!
Umm, is it really that easy? I’ve tried mimosas before and they didn’t turn out great. Maybe I should stick to coffee.
Not gonna lie, I think it’s overrated. OJ and champagne together just feels weird to me. The strawberries helped, but I’d prefer something more like a fruit syrup.
I don’t get why everyone loves this. It’s just juice and bubbly, how exciting can that be? Not my favorite.
Is this even a real Valentine drink or just orange juice with fancy glasses? 😅
The recipe is good but the strawberry garnish didn’t do much for me. Also, I ran out of strawberries and used raspberries—still okay.
I made this for my girlfriend and it looked adorable. I used prosecco instead of champagne and it still worked great. Next time I might add a couple extra strawberries for more flavor.
Can you use any juice? Or does it HAVE to be orange? Asking for a friend.
Umm, are you sure champagne is the right choice? I thought it should be something like prosecco… 😂
How many servings does this recipe make? I need to serve a crowd for valentine’s.
This recipe usually makes about 4-6 servings, depending on how much juice you use! Perfect for a crowd!
Doesn’t say how many servings. I guess you can just make more if you need, right?
Why add strawberries? They’re for kids! More champagne is what we need! 🍾
I tried it and it was kinda flat. Maybe my sparkling wine was not chilled enough?
Good for parties, but too sweet for my taste. Next time, less juice!
I totally get that! Maybe try using half orange juice and half sparkling water for a lighter drink?
I’m not much of a cook but this was so simple! My boyfriend loved it, thx!
Not gonna lie, I thought “mimosa” was supposed to be complicated. This is literally juice + bubbles and it works.
Exactly! People act like it’s some fancy cocktail science, but it’s really just orange juice + bubbles. Simple and perfect.
Huh… I tried a mimosa once and it was kinda flat, so I guess I didn’t use enough champagne? But yeah, this seems straightforward. Gonna give it another go for Valentine’s.
Okay but is it really called a mimosa if it’s mostly OJ? I followed the steps exactly and it came out kind of tart. Still drinkable though, just not my vibe.
