Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Puree
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh mango, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (optional)
Beverage
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled sparkling wine or Champagne
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Puree: In a blender, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries, peeled and diced mango, and simple syrup if using. Blend until smooth to create a vibrant fruit puree. For a smoother consistency, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Assemble the Mimosas: Pour about 2 tablespoons of the fruit puree into a champagne flute, followed by 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed orange juice. This forms the flavorful base of the mimosa.
- Add Sparkling Wine: Slowly top the glass with chilled sparkling wine or Champagne. Pour gently to maintain the fizz and bubbles.
- Combine Gently: Stir the mimosa softly to blend the ingredients without losing the bubbles, preserving its light and effervescent texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Add a small slice of strawberry or a fresh mint leaf on top for a decorative and fragrant touch. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and bubbly for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling water or club soda for the sparkling wine.
- Adjust the proportions of fruit puree and orange juice to suit your preferred sweetness and flavor balance.
- Use fresh, high-quality fruits for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Serve chilled glasses to keep the mimosa refreshing.
