What is a Mimosa?

A mimosa is a classic cocktail that typically consists of equal parts champagne or sparkling wine and chilled citrus juice, often orange juice. It’s a beloved brunch beverage known for its refreshing and bubbly nature, making it the perfect drink for morning meals or celebratory gatherings.

How to Make Strawberry Syrup at Home

One of the key components of our Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa is the homemade strawberry syrup. Not only does it add a delightful sweetness and vibrant hue to the cocktail, but it’s also incredibly versatile for cocktails, mocktails and more. Here’s how you can make it at home:

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and hulling 2 cups of fresh strawberries, then chop them into smaller pieces.
Simmer the Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the strawberries are soft and the liquid thickens slightly.
Strain and Cool: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a jar, discarding the solids. Your homemade strawberry syrup is now ready to use!

Other Uses for Strawberry Syrup

While our strawberry syrup shines in the Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa, its versatility extends beyond cocktails. Here are a few other ways you can enjoy this delightful syrup:

Drizzle it over pancakes or waffles for a fruity twist on breakfast.
Swirl it into yogurt or oatmeal for a burst of flavor.
Use it as a topping for ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Mix it into homemade salad dressings for a touch of sweetness.

How to Make it a Mocktail

For those who prefer to skip the alcohol or are looking for a family-friendly option, you can easily transform our Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa into a mocktail. Simply omit the prosecco or champagne and use a non-alcoholic sparkling wine instead. You’ll still get to enjoy the delightful flavors and fizzy texture of this refreshing beverage, minus the alcohol content.
