Cooking Lesson #976: Strawberry Mimosa to Celebrate the New Year, All Year

…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? Well, I survived another New Year’s Eve celebration. At the moment of the evening approaching midnight, we raised our cocktail glasses to celebrate the coming of 2025. So, say Bye-Bye to 2024 and make way for a new drink and a new year.
 
I love using fresh fruits in cocktails. Fresh strawberries are my favorite… this is why I love making my strawberry mimosas. They’re super simple, and it takes just 2 ingredients. Fresh strawberries (or strawberry liqueur) and Champagne, sparkling wine or prosecco.
 
I wanted to take a little moment to thank you all for visiting our blog and hopefully finding food history and inspiration for everyday meal recipes, baking adventures and cocktails! Wishing you all a very healthy, prosperous Happy New Year!
 
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield:  2 cocktails
 
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, for garnishing the glass
3 ounces strawberry liqueur (I prefer Fragoli Wild Strawberry)
16 ounces Champagne, Prosecco or sparkling wine
2 fresh ripe strawberries, cut in half
2 strawberries, for garnishing the glass
 
Directions

1. Rim two champagne glasses with sugar by wetting the edges either with a wedge of lemon or water and dipping them in granulated sugar.
2. Pour the strawberry liqueur in each glass and top with sparkling wine.
3. Add sliced strawberries inside the champagne glasses and garnish the rim of glasses with 2 strawberries cut halfway. Enjoy!

ChefSecret:  For this simple fruit mimosa you can use different fruits like blueberries, pineapples, lemons, limes or oranges; they are such a perfect combo in mimosas.

Quip of the Day:  Poppin’ champagne is like winning the Super Bowl! Sip, Sip, Hooray!
