Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 bottle chilled champagne, prosecco, brut, cava, or sparkling wine
- Fresh whole strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- 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.
- Fill a champagne flute halfway with the strawberry mixture.
- Fill the rest of the glass with chilled champagne.
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
