A strawberry champagne mimosa elevates brunch, birthdays, and bridal showers with fresh flavor and sparkling elegance. Unlike the classic orange mimosa, this variation layers ripe berries and bubbly with a touch of cocktail craft, turning any occasion into a celebration.

Ingredients for a Strawberry Champagne Mimosa

45 ml strawberry puree (fresh or high-quality store-bought)
90 ml chilled champagne or quality dry sparkling wine
15 ml triple sec or orange liqueur (optional, for extra depth)
Fresh sliced strawberries (for garnish)
Mint sprig (for garnish, optional)

Choose ripe, aromatic strawberries for the puree. Look for brut (dry) champagne or sparkling wine to balance the fruit’s sweetness.

Strawberry Champagne Mimosa Recipe Steps

Prepare the strawberry puree: blend washed hulled strawberries until smooth, then strain for a silky texture.
Chill your champagne flute in the freezer for 10 minutes for frosted presentation.
Add 45 ml strawberry puree to the base of the glass.
Pour 15 ml triple sec over the puree.
Top slowly with 90 ml chilled champagne, pouring against the inside of the glass to preserve bubbles and create pretty layers.
Give a gentle stir to blend flavors, if desired, or let the guest swirl.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice and mint sprig.

Each glass offers a rosy hue and delivers vibrant berry aromas lifted by crisp bubbles.

Tips for Serving Strawberry Champagne Mimosas in Style

Prep strawberry puree just before serving to preserve flavor and color.
Use tall, slender flute glasses to showcase bubbles and color.
Offer an alcohol-free version with sparkling water in place of champagne.
Create a mimosa bar with bowls of sliced strawberries, raspberries, orange twists, and mint for guests to personalize garnishes.
If batching for a crowd, combine strawberry puree and triple sec ahead, chill, then top with sparkling wine just before serving.

Personal touches—like a rim of superfine sugar or a twist of lemon zest—add visual flair. For memorable brunches, serve alongside fresh pastries, fruit, or light canapés.

Choosing the Best Champagne or Sparkling Wine

Brut champagne offers crispness and lets strawberry shine; extra dry and prosecco also work for a balanced, lighter profile.
Cava brings minerality and gentle bubbles, ideal for brunch.
Rosé sparkling wines intensify the mimosa’s pink color and fruity aroma.

Balance sweetness with strawberry’s acidity and always pour the sparkling wine last to preserve effervescence. Whether using true champagne, prosecco, or cava, freshness is key for lively celebration mimosas.
