Mimosas don’t need to be sugar bombs. This version uses fresh strawberry puree instead of juice, cutting the sugar while keeping all the fruity flavor.
You’ll get bright, bubbly drinks that won’t leave you feeling sluggish. They’re lighter but still feel celebratory.
Why Fresh Strawberry Puree Works Better Than Juice
Store-bought strawberry juice is loaded with added sugars and artificial flavors. Fresh puree gives you pure strawberry taste without the extra sweetness.
Blend hulled strawberries until smooth, then strain if you want a completely smooth texture. The natural fruit sugars provide just enough sweetness to balance the champagne’s dryness. You can make the puree up to two days ahead and keep it chilled.

Equipment Needed
- Blender or food processor
- Fine mesh strainer (optional)
- 4 champagne flutes
Instructions
- Make strawberry puree: Add hulled strawberries and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Taste and add honey if you prefer sweeter mimosas. Strain through fine mesh strainer if you want completely smooth puree.
- Chill puree: Chill the strawberry puree in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the mimosas from getting warm when you add the puree to cold champagne.
- Assemble mimosas: Pour 2 tablespoons of chilled strawberry puree into each champagne flute. Slowly top with champagne, pouring down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles. The drink should be pale pink with a light foam on top. Garnish with strawberry slice and serve immediately.
