- Chilled sparkling white grape juice or sparkling apple juice, 2 cups: Introduces fizz and lightness without alcohol, perfect for a sparkling finish.

How to Make Strawberry Mango Mimosas Recipe
Step 1: Blend the Fruit Base
Start by combining the chopped strawberries, ripe mango, fresh orange juice, and your choice of honey or agave syrup in a blender. Blend everything together until it’s completely smooth and velvety. This luscious puree will form the flavorful heart of your mimosa, so make sure to achieve that perfect balance—taste and add a hint more sweetness if you prefer a little extra zip.
Step 2: Prepare Your Glassware
Grab your fanciest champagne flutes or even simple glasses—the presentation sets the mood! Fill each glass halfway with the strawberry mango puree, creating a vibrant, fruity foundation that looks as wonderful as it tastes.
Step 3: Add the Sparkle
Slowly pour the chilled sparkling white grape juice or sparkling apple juice over the fruit puree in each glass. Pour gently to preserve the bubbles, giving the mimosa that irresistible fizz and light texture that is simply irresistible. If you want, give it just a gentle stir to combine flavors without losing the sparkle.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Finish each glass with a beautiful slice of fresh strawberry or a chunk of mango on the rim or floating atop the drink. Serve immediately to enjoy the bubbly charm at its very best.
How to Serve Strawberry Mango Mimosas Recipe
Garnishes
Garnishing isn’t just about looks—it makes the experience even more delightful. Opt for fresh strawberry slices, mango chunks, or even a small sprig of mint to add a pop of color and an extra hint of aroma. These little touches turn a simple drink into a celebration for your senses.
Side Dishes
This mimosa pairs beautifully with light brunch fare. Think fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, fresh fruit salads, or crispy avocado toasts topped with a sprinkle of chili flakes. The fruity sweetness of the Strawberry Mango Mimosas Recipe complements savory and sweet dishes alike, making it a versatile crowd-pleaser.
Creative Ways to Present
Looking to elevate your presentation? Serve these mimosas in clear mason jars for a casual feel or use elegant champagne coupes for a touch of sophistication. Adding colorful paper straws or edible flower petals on top can make your strawberry mango drink look as festive as it tastes.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover strawberry mango puree, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep the sparkling juice separate until you’re ready to serve to maintain that wonderful fizz and freshness.
Freezing
While you can freeze the fruit puree in ice cube trays for up to a month, it’s best to avoid freezing the mimosa once mixed, as the sparkling juice will lose its bubbles and texture. Use the frozen puree cubes later for smoothies or a fruity mocktail twist.
Reheating
Reheating this drink isn’t recommended as it is best enjoyed chilled and bubbly. If your puree becomes too cold or thick after refrigeration, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and give it a quick stir before mixing with sparkling juice again.
FAQs
Can I make the Strawberry Mango Mimosas Recipe alcoholic?
Absolutely! To make it an alcoholic mimosa, simply replace the sparkling juice with chilled champagne or prosecco. This swaps in some celebratory bubbles while keeping the glorious fruit flavor intact.
What if I don’t have fresh fruit on hand?
Frozen strawberries and mangoes work beautifully as a substitute. Just thaw them slightly before blending to ensure a smooth puree with the same gorgeous taste.
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
Yes! Since this recipe uses sparkling white grape or apple juice, it’s entirely kid-friendly and perfect for celebrations where little ones want to join in the fun.
How do I make the texture smoother?
If you prefer a super smooth mimosa, strain the fruit puree through a fine mesh sieve before assembling the drink to remove any pulp or seeds.
Can I prepare the puree ahead of time?
You can prep the fruit puree a day in advance and store it in the fridge, but wait to add the sparkling juice only right before serving. This keeps your mimosas fresh and bubbly.
