Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Fruit Puree:
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup chilled mango juice or nectar
- 1 bottle chilled champagne or prosecco
- Ice (optional)
- Strawberry or mango slice for garnish
How to Make Strawberry Mango Mimosas
Step 1: Blend the Fruit Puree
Add your hulled strawberries, chopped mango, lemon juice, and (if using) sugar to a blender. Blitz everything until it’s completely smooth. This quick step sets the stage for an ultra-lush, fruit-forward mimosa base.
Step 2: Strain for Smoothness (Optional)
If you adore a super silky drink, pour the fruit puree through a fine mesh strainer. This removes any seeds or fibers, leaving you with the smoothest, brightest puree imaginable. Of course, you can skip this if you love a little natural texture.
Step 3: Layer the Puree in Glasses
Spoon about two tablespoons of the fruit puree into the bottom of each champagne flute. This is where those beautiful color swirls begin, instantly catching attention and inviting that first sip.
Step 4: Top with Mango Juice
Add a small splash of chilled mango juice or nectar on top of the fruit puree in each glass. This boosts the mango flavor and sets up a gorgeous ombré effect when you pour in the bubbly.
Step 5: Pour the Bubbles
Slowly (and carefully) top each glass with chilled champagne or prosecco. Pour at an angle if you can, so the bubbles don’t overflow. The mix of golden fizz meeting the fruit purée is worth savoring, just for the spectacle!
Step 6: Stir & Garnish
Stir gently if needed, just to combine—but don’t over-mix, so the drink stays lively and sparkling. Finish with a slice of fresh strawberry or mango perched on the rim for a final flourish.
How to Serve Strawberry Mango Mimosas
Garnishes
Elevate your presentation by adding a slice of strawberry or mango to each glass. A sprig of mint offers a bright burst of green and a fresh aroma that guests will love. If you’re feeling fancy, lightly sugar the rim of the glass for extra dazzle.
Side Dishes
Strawberry Mango Mimosas fit right in at any brunch spread! Pair them with buttery croissants, fluffy scrambled eggs, or fruit-topped pancakes. For a savory twist, try them alongside smoked salmon bagels or herby quiche—they brighten up any bite.
Creative Ways to Present
Serve Strawberry Mango Mimosas in tall champagne flutes for elegance or vintage coupes for a fun retro vibe. For a breezy backyard party, set up a DIY mimosa bar so guests can personalize their glasses with extra berries, slices of citrus, or even edible flowers. These cocktails also look stunning poured over crushed ice for a frosty summer treat!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftover fruit puree, stash it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before making more mimosas, since the layers may settle a bit.
Freezing
You can freeze extra strawberry-mango puree in an ice cube tray for easy single-serve portions later. Pop out a few cubes, let them thaw, and you’re ready to mix up more Strawberry Mango Mimosas any time a brunch craving strikes.
Reheating
There’s no reheating necessary with these icy-cool mimosas! All you need to do is bring your ingredients back to a chilly, just-popped-from-the-fridge state, and you’re good to go. Never heat the fruit puree, as it’s meant to be enjoyed refreshingly cold.
FAQs
Can I make Strawberry Mango Mimosas alcohol-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the champagne or prosecco with sparkling water, club soda, or ginger ale. You’ll still get all the fruit-forward flavor and fun fizz, perfect for brunches with kids or anyone skipping alcohol.
Do I need to strain the fruit puree?
Straining is totally optional. If you prefer a smoother drink, pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve. If you love a rustic, fruity texture, feel free to skip this step and keep the puree as is.
What’s the best champagne or prosecco to use?
Choose a dry (brut) champagne or prosecco so the sweetness of the fruit stands out. There’s no need to splurge on expensive bottles—the fresh fruit does most of the flavor work here.
Can I use frozen mango and strawberries?
Yes, frozen fruit works well when fresh isn’t available. Just thaw your mango and strawberries before pureeing for the best texture and flavor in your Strawberry Mango Mimosas.
How far in advance can I make the puree?
You can blend up the strawberry-mango puree up to a day ahead and refrigerate it tightly covered. Wait until just before serving to mix everything together for the freshest fizz.
