Why You’ll Love Pineapple Strawberry Mimosas

• Fruity and Refreshing: The combination of pineapple and strawberry flavors creates a refreshingly sweet taste.
• Perfect for Celebrations: Ideal for special occasions, brunches, or as a festive start to your day.
• Easy and Quick to Prepare: With just a few ingredients, you can whip up this cocktail in no time.
• Customizable: Easily adjust the fruit ratios or sparkling wine to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients Notes

• Pineapple Juice: Look for pure pineapple juice for the best flavor. Freshly squeezed or high-quality bottled juice works well.
• Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are preferred for their natural sweetness and vibrant color. You can also use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available.
• Sparkling Wine: Choose a dry sparkling wine or champagne to balance the sweetness of the juices. Prosecco or Cava are excellent choices for a more budget-friendly option.
• Optional Garnishes: Mint leaves, extra strawberry slices, or pineapple wedges can add a decorative touch and enhance the flavors.

Recipe Steps

1. Prepare the Fruit: If using fresh strawberries, rinse, hull, and thinly slice them. Set aside some slices for garnishing.
2. Layer the Flavors: In champagne flutes or mimosa glasses, start by adding a few strawberry slices. Pour in the pineapple juice, filling about one-third of the glass.
3. Add the Sparkle: Top off the glass with sparkling wine, pouring slowly to prevent it from overflowing. The sparkling wine will mix with the juice as you pour, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
4. Garnish and Serve: Add a strawberry slice to the rim of each glass or drop a few mint leaves for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the effervescence.

Storage and Serving

• Serving: Mimosas are best served fresh to enjoy the bubbles and vibrant flavors.
• Preparation for Groups: If preparing for a crowd, you can set up a mimosa bar with the ingredients separated, allowing guests to customize their drinks.

Ingredients

 

• ▢ Champagne or Sparkling Wine: 1 bottle chilled
• ▢ Pineapple Juice: 1 cup chilled
• ▢ Strawberry Puree: 1/2 cup see instructions below for making puree
• ▢ Fresh Strawberries: for garnish
• ▢ Pineapple Slices: for garnish optional
• ▢ Mint Leaves: for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberry Puree:

• Wash and Hull Strawberries: Wash fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.
• Blend Strawberries: Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, you can strain the puree to remove seeds.
• Chill the Puree: Refrigerate the strawberry puree until it's cold. This helps to keep your mimosa chilled when mixing.

Assemble the Mimosas:

• Prepare the Glasses: If you'd like, you can garnish the rim of your champagne flutes with a little sugar for an extra touch of elegance. Simply wet the rim with a piece of pineapple or water and dip it into granulated sugar.
• Add Strawberry Puree: Spoon about 1 tablespoon (or more, depending on your preference) of the strawberry puree into each champagne flute.
• Add Pineapple Juice: Pour about 2 ounces of pineapple juice into each glass over the strawberry puree.
• Top with Champagne: Fill the rest of the glass with chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Pour slowly to prevent it from overflowing.
• Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim, a slice of pineapple, or a sprig of mint for a refreshing aroma. Serve immediately.
