Print Recipe

A simple and festive mimosa bar featuring a fresh mixed berry puree that adds a vibrant, tangy twist to classic mimosas. Perfect for easy entertaining and last-minute brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, about 300 grams)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (25 grams)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 2 tbsp water (30 ml)
  • 1 bottle chilled sparkling wine or champagne (750 ml, brut style recommended)
  • 1 cup orange juice (240 ml, freshly squeezed preferred)
  • Fresh berries and orange slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh berries under cold water (skip if using frozen). Combine berries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher. Use a spoon to press the puree gently, leaving seeds behind to achieve a smooth berry liquid.
  3. Place the strained berry puree in the fridge to chill while preparing the rest of the mimosa bar.
  4. Arrange chilled sparkling wine, orange juice, berry puree, and garnishes on a counter or table with champagne flutes ready.
  5. To assemble a mimosa, pour 2 oz (60 ml) orange juice into a flute, add 1 oz (30 ml) mixed berry puree, then top off gently with about 3 oz (90 ml) sparkling wine. Stir lightly if needed.
  6. Garnish with a fresh berry or thin orange slice on the rim and serve immediately.

Notes

Strain the berry puree well to remove seeds for a smooth texture. Chill the puree and sparkling wine before serving to maintain fizz and freshness. Prepare the puree up to 3 days ahead and store in the fridge. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling wine with sparkling water or non-alcoholic bubbly. Adjust sugar and puree amounts to balance sweetness and tartness. Adding fresh mint, elderflower syrup, or bitters can add interesting flavor twists.
