Fresh Champagne Strawberry Mimosas Ready in 5 Minutes
Fresh strawberry mimosas turn ordinary champagne into a fruity brunch cocktail that’s ready in minutes. You’ll muddle fresh berries right in the glass to release their natural sweetness and color.
The result is a beautiful pink drink that tastes like summer and looks impressive without any complicated prep work.
How to Choose and Prepare Your Strawberries
Ripe strawberries make all the difference in these mimosas. Look for berries that give slightly when pressed and have bright red color all the way to the stem. Avoid berries with white shoulders or mushy spots.
You’ll muddle the strawberries directly in each glass, so slice them into quarters first. This creates more surface area for releasing juice and makes muddling easier. Don’t skip this step – whole berries won’t break down properly and you’ll miss out on the fresh strawberry flavor throughout the drink.

- Muddler or wooden spoon
- Small bowl
Instructions
- Make simple syrup: Mix sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds of stirring.
- Add strawberries: Divide quartered strawberries evenly among 4 champagne flutes (about 4-5 pieces per glass). Add 1/2 tablespoon of the sugar-lemon mixture to each glass.
- Muddle berries: Gently muddle strawberries in each glass for 15-20 seconds, pressing down and twisting until berries break apart and release their juice. The mixture should look chunky and pink.
- Add champagne: Slowly pour chilled champagne into each glass, filling about 3/4 full. Pour gently to maintain bubbles. Garnish with mint sprigs if desired and serve immediately while champagne is still fizzy.
