Ingredients You’ll Need
Making a delicious Strawberry Rosé Mimosa is simpler than you think. Gather these easy-to-find ingredients for a batch of 4 servings:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
- ½ cup chilled rosé wine (dry style recommended)
- 2 cups cold sparkling wine or prosecco (chilled)
- Ice cubes (for serving)
- Fresh mint sprigs or extra strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Optional Substitutions:
- Non-alcoholic version: Replace rosé and prosecco with 1¼ cups chilled strawberry purée and 2 cups club soda or sparkling water.
- Vegan-friendly: Use a vegan rosé and ensure all wines are sulfite-free if preferred.
Kitchen Tools Needed
- Blender or food processor (for smooth strawberry purée)
- Fine mesh strainer (to remove seeds, if desired)
- Cocktail shaker or measuring pitcher
- Champagne flutes or tall wine glasses
- Bar spoon or stirrer
- Cutting board and knife
- Prepare the Strawberry Purée: Place the washed and hulled strawberries in a blender. Pulse until smooth. For a seed-free experience, strain the purée through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Press gently with a spoon to extract all the juice. Discard seeds if using strained purée.
- Mix the Base: In a large pitcher or cocktail shaker, combine the strawberry purée and rosé wine. Stir gently to blend. Chill for 10–15 minutes for enhanced flavor infusion.
- Chill Your Glasses: Place champagne flutes in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving. A cold glass keeps your mimosas frosty longer.
- Build the Mimosas: Divide the strawberry-rosé mixture evenly among the chilled flutes. Top each with ½ cup of chilled prosecco or sparkling wine.
- Garnish & Serve: Float a whole strawberry or a sprig of mint on top for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Use Fresh, Ripe Strawberries: Their natural sweetness makes a huge difference. Avoid overly firm or underripe berries.
- Chill Everything: Cold ingredients = colder drinks. Refrigerate rosé, prosecco, and strawberries before mixing.
- Don’t Over-Muddle: Unlike mocktails, this recipe relies on blended purée—not crushed fruit—for a smoother texture.
- Layer with Care: Pour the base first, then slowly add the bubbly to preserve carbonation.
- Batch Make Ahead: Prepare the strawberry-rosé base up to 2 hours ahead. Add prosecco just before serving.
- Fluffy buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup
- Quiche Lorraine or spinach feta tartlets
- Fresh fruit salad or Greek yogurt parfaits
- Mini caprese skewers with cherry tomatoes and basil
- Buttery croissants or almond croissants
- Never mix the base with prosecco before storing.
- Always use fresh, chilled prosecco when serving.
- Discard any leftover mix after 24 hours due to bacterial growth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I make a non-alcoholic Strawberry Rosé Mimosa?
Absolutely! Simply replace the rosé and prosecco with 1¼ cups strawberry purée and 2 cups sparkling water or club soda. It’s just as refreshing and Instagram-worthy.
How long does a Strawberry Rosé Mimosa stay fresh?
Mimosas should be served immediately. The carbonation in prosecco dissipates quickly, so avoid making them more than 30 minutes ahead of time.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them first to prevent diluting the drink. For best results, use fresh berries.
Is there sugar in this drink?
Strawberries contain natural sugars, and some rosé wines are lightly sweetened. If you’re watching sugar intake, opt for ultra-dry rosé and monitor portion size.
Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?
Sure! Try raspberries, peaches, or mango for a tropical twist. Adjust quantities based on sweetness.
