Easy Strawberry Mimosas

These mimosas are incredibly simple, with fresh citrus and fruity flavor, a nice light fizz, and bright color, made in minutes and enjoyed in a lovely tall champagne flute.

Ingredients Needed
Here’s what you’ll need to make this mimosa recipe.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Strawberry nectar – This is made from strawberries that have been pureed with a sweetener, and typically has a thicker texture than regular juice. It can usually be found where the other non-chilled juices are or in the soda aisle.
- Orange juice – It should be freshly squeezed, pulp strained.
- Fruit – Fresh strawberry slices, frozen raspberries, 1/2 a small blood orange and 1/2 a lime, both sliced.
- Sparkling wine – You’ll need 1 bottle, chilled. See details below.
- Grand Marnier – This is an orange-flavored liqueur. It’s optional, but recommended.
What’s the Best Champagne for Mimosas?
Real Champagne (from France) can be very expensive, and you really don’t need it for a mimosa, since the sweet orange juice will dilute the delicate flavor anyway. Go for a more affordable sparkling wine like Cava or Prosecco – a good bottle of either of those will run you about $15.
- What is Cava? Cava is a sparkling wine from Spain, typically made using the same method as Champagne. The wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating those beloved bubbles. It’s usually dry so it pairs well with a very sweet orange juice.
- What is Proseco? Prosecco is a sparkling wine that hails from Italy, which is usually made by fermenting the wine in a tank and then bottling it afterwards. It’s dry, but also slightly sweet, so it’s a great pairing with oranges that are more on the bitter side.
You do want to avoid super cheap sparkling wine, though. Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut Cava is a personal fav, which is crisp, clean, and well-balanced.
Recipe Variations
- Non-alcoholic Mimosas. If you’re not 21 years old yet, or simply don’t drink alcohol, you can still enjoy a non-alcoholic mimosa by swapping out the sparkling wine with ginger ale or sparkling apple cider. Still delish!
- Orange Juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice that’s been chilled is the best for mimosas. Any oranges work for mimosas! Choose from navel, blood oranges, or even clementines. Set some time aside to juice your own and allow time for it to chill before using. Strain the orange juice to remove any pulp. If you have to buy it pre-made, make sure it’s pulp-free and the highest quality.
- Use a different Juice. There’s no law that says Mimosas have to be made with orange juice. The strawberry flavor would also pair well with cranberry, watermelon, or pineapple fruit juice.

How to Make Strawberry Mimosas
Making mimosas is so easy! This strawberry mimosa recipe serves 12, so you’ll need a pitcher or punch bowl.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Combine ingredients. In a large pitcher, stir together the strawberry nectar and orange juice. Add in all the fruit slices.
- Chill. Cover the pitcher and chill for at least 3 hours (or overnight.)
- Serve. In individual glasses or champagne flutes, pour 1/2 cup of the chilled juice mixture, then slightly tilt the glass and slowly add in 1/4 cup chilled prosecco. Then drizzle in 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier. Place a small orange wedge and strawberry slice inside the glass for garnish.

Tips for Success
Even though a mimosa drink couldn’t get any easier, there are still a few tips to keep in mind to make the best drinks possible.
- Use cold ingredients. Make sure your sparkling wine and juice are chilled for a refreshing drink.
- Serve in Champagne flutes. Ideally, mimosas are served in tall glasses like a champagne flute, which helps keep those bubbles going.
- Pour the sparkling wine first. If you pour in the orange juice first and then the bubbles, the drink might overflow.
- Pour at an angle. Hold the glass at a slight angle when pouring the wine to maintain the carbonation.
- Don’t stir! Te act of pouring will mix your drink just fine.
- Ratio of alcohol to juice. If you’ve never made a mimosa before, we recommend starting with a ratio of 50/50, juice to bubbly. The perfect ratio is subjective, of course. If you want it more boozy with 2 parts sparkling wine and 1 part juice, do that. Or if you like your drinks sweeter, do the reverse. But we suggest starting with equal parts, taste, and figure out your preference.
