This Raspberry Mimosa recipe combines raspberry puree and prosecco for a bubbly, fruity twist on a classic mimosa. It’s a fantastic choice for a Sunday brunch, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, bridal showers, or a refreshing pick-me-up.

This raspberry mimosa recipe takes the traditional mimosa, which typically features white wine or champagne and fresh orange juice, and gives it a bit of a twist. The fresh fruit puree adds depth of flavor and vibrant color. It will make this classic brunch cocktail stand out.

The puree is made from macerated raspberries, either frozen or fresh, pushed through a sieve to remove seeds. You can also try other variations, like a strawberry or mixed fresh berries.

Ingredients

Here’s a rundown of the simple ingredients for this delightful raspberry mimosa recipe.

Raspberries – These can be frozen or fresh raspberries.

Equipment

Champagne flutes – One champagne glass for each serving.
Sieve – To strain the raspberry puree.

Method

In a bowl, macerate the raspberries with sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the juices release. If you’re using frozen raspberries, let them defrost.

Push the macerated raspberries through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds, collecting all the puree in a clean container.

Rub the rims of the champagne flutes with half a lemon, then dip the rims in a mixture of sugar and raspberry powder. This adds a touch of sweetness and a pop of color to each sip.

Divide the raspberry puree or syrup evenly among each champagne flute.

Slowly pour sparkling wine into each flute, allowing it to mix with the puree or syrup as you pour. You can also use a cocktail stirrer to stir the puree into the sparkling wine.

Variations

This raspberry mimosa cocktail recipe can be adapted to use other flavors and ingredients.

Substitute the prosecco or champagne with a non-alcoholic sparkling wine for a non-alcoholic mimosa.
Use other fruit juices or purees – Try a peach puree for a Bellini-inspired twist or a tropical fruit puree like mango or passion fruit.
Add a bit of a twist with a splash of citrus juice, like fresh orange or grapefruit juice.
Garnish with orange slices, fresh mint leaves, or edible flowers for an extra festive touch.
