Are you looking for a refreshing and elegant drink to elevate your brunch experience? Look no further than these Easy Frosty Strawberry Mimosas! This delightful twist on the classic mimosa is not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor, making it the perfect addition to any celebration or special occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups frozen strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 bottle chilled champagne, prosecco, brut, cava, or sparkling wine
  • Fresh whole strawberries for garnish

Directions:

  1. Place frozen strawberries, sugar, and 1 cup of champagne in a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup of champagne.
  2. Fill a champagne flute halfway with the strawberry mixture.
  3. Fill the rest of the glass with chilled champagne.
  4. Garnish with a strawberry that has a slice down the middle (but not all the way through) so it sits neatly on the glass.

Notes:

  • This recipe makes 6 champagne cocktails.
  • To prevent the champagne from bubbling too much, hold the glass at a 45-degree angle while pouring.
  • If you’d like to premix a pitcher of mimosas, do so just as your guests arrive to maintain the carbonation of the champagne.

Serving and Storage Tips:

  1. Serve Chilled: Ensure your Easy Frosty Strawberry Mimosas are served chilled for maximum refreshment. Keep both the strawberry mixture and the champagne cold until ready to serve.
  2. Garnish with Style: Elevate the presentation of your mimosas by garnishing each glass with a fresh strawberry. For an extra decorative touch, slice a small slit down the middle of the strawberry so it can sit neatly on the rim of the glass.
  3. Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality champagne, prosecco, brut, cava, or sparkling wine to enhance the flavor profile of your mimosas. Fresh and ripe frozen strawberries will also contribute to the vibrant taste of the drink.
  4. Offer Variety: Consider offering a variety of champagne options for your guests to choose from to accommodate different taste preferences. You can also experiment with different fruit combinations or flavored sparkling wines for added variety.
  5. Store Properly: If you have any leftover strawberry mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. However, it’s best to consume the mimosas fresh to maintain their optimal taste and texture.
  6. Preparation Ahead of Time: To save time on the day of your event, you can prepare the strawberry mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Simply blend the strawberries and sugar, then cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. When it’s time to enjoy your mimosas, just add the champagne and garnish with fresh strawberries.
  7. Maintain Carbonation: If you’re preparing a large batch of mimosas in advance, be mindful of the carbonation of the champagne. To preserve the fizziness, mix the champagne into the strawberry mixture just before serving rather than premixing it ahead of time.

By following these serving and storage tips, you can ensure that your Easy Frosty Strawberry Mimosas are not only delicious but also beautifully presented and enjoyed to the fullest by you and your guests. Cheers to a memorable brunch experience!

 

Variations:

  1. Citrus Twist: Add a burst of citrus flavor to your Frosty Strawberry Mimosas by incorporating freshly squeezed orange, lemon, or lime juice into the strawberry mixture. The citrusy tang will complement the sweetness of the strawberries beautifully.
  2. Berry Medley: Mix things up by using a combination of frozen berries such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries in place of or in addition to the strawberries. This variation adds depth of flavor and a colorful twist to your mimosas.
  3. Herbal Infusion: Infuse your champagne with fresh herbs like mint, basil, or lavender for a unique and aromatic twist. Simply add a few sprigs of your chosen herb to the champagne and let it steep for a few minutes before mixing with the strawberry mixture.
  4. Coconut Bliss: For a tropical flair, blend frozen strawberries with coconut milk or coconut cream instead of champagne. Top off with a splash of sparkling water or coconut-flavored sparkling water for a refreshing and dairy-free alternative.
  5. Spice it Up: Add a hint of warmth and spice to your mimosas by mixing in a pinch of ground cinnamon or a splash of ginger liqueur. These aromatic spices will add complexity and depth to the flavor profile of your cocktails.
  6. Frozen Mimosas: Turn your Frosty Strawberry Mimosas into a frozen treat by blending all the ingredients with ice until smooth and slushy. Pour into glasses and garnish with a strawberry for a fun and frosty twist on the classic cocktail.
  7. Mocktail Option: For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the champagne with sparkling water, ginger ale, or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. You’ll still get the refreshing taste of strawberries with a bubbly kick, perfect for guests who prefer to skip the alcohol.

Feel free to get creative and experiment with these variations to customize your Frosty Strawberry Mimosas to your liking. Whether you’re hosting a brunch, bridal shower, or summer soiree, these versatile variations are sure to delight your guests and add a touch of excitement to any occasion. Cheers to endless possibilities!
