With minimal effort, you’ll have a show-stopping drink that looks as amazing as it tastes, whether you’re hosting brunch, a bridal shower, or simply celebrating the weekend.

Why the Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa Is a Crowd-Pleaser

This mimosa goes above and beyond the classic by blending juicy strawberries into a sweet, tart puree that pairs perfectly with the effervescence of sparkling wine or champagne. The gentle gradient of red to gold mirrors a breathtaking sunrise right in your glass, making it as visually stunning as it is refreshing. Each sip delivers a harmonious balance of fruity sweetness and crisp, bubbly sparkle—guaranteed to brighten everyone’s day.

Crafting the Perfect Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa

Start by making a luscious strawberry puree; use only ripe, fragrant strawberries for maximum flavor. To achieve a perfectly smooth and vibrant puree, a high-powered blender is essential. The Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender is ideal for pureeing fruit to a silky consistency, ensuring your mimosa is free from lumps and bursting with fresh strawberry taste.

For the orange juice layer, fresh-squeezed is best. You can quickly dice and prep oranges using a reliable chopper like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, making juicing effortless.

A disposable tablecloth such as the Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White is also a great addition if you’re hosting a group—keeping your serving area looking bright and easy to clean up.

Layering the Sunrise: Mimosa Assembly Tips

To create the iconic layered sunrise effect, pour the strawberry puree first, followed by the orange juice. Finish by topping with chilled sparkling wine or champagne. Pour slowly to maintain the separate bands of color and avoid mixing the layers prematurely. For best results, use a steady hand and a reliable citrus juicer.

For added flair, garnish each glass with a strawberry slice or an orange wedge. Serve immediately while everything is icy cold and vibrant.

Serving and Pairing Ideas

The Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa is fabulous alongside classic brunch dishes—think eggs benedict, pastries, or fresh fruit salads. If you’re serving a crowd, keep a pitcher ready on ice, but assemble individual cocktails just before serving to preserve the beautiful color separation.

Transport your finished drinks outdoors using a sturdy cup, like the Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler, 30 oz, Rose Quartz, perfect for garden brunches or patio entertaining.
