Raspberry Mimosa
Elevate the classic Mimosa with a burst of fresh raspberry flavor. This variation adds a touch of elegance and fruity sweetness to your brunch cocktail.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750ml) Champagne (or other sparkling wine)
- 1/2 cup Raspberry Puree
- as needed Fresh Raspberries (for garnish)
Prepare Raspberry Puree
To make the raspberry puree, blend fresh raspberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. This will give you a smooth and luxurious raspberry base for your mimosa.
Chill Ingredients
Ensure both the champagne and raspberry puree are well-chilled before mixing. This will help maintain the drink's effervescence and keep it refreshing.
Assemble the Mimosa
Pour about 1-2 tablespoons of raspberry puree into each champagne flute. Then, gently top off with chilled champagne. Adjust the amount of puree to your liking, depending on how strong you want the raspberry flavor to be.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish each mimosa with a few fresh raspberries. This adds a beautiful visual appeal and enhances the raspberry flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
FAQ
-
Can I use frozen raspberries for the puree?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. Just make sure to thaw them completely before blending. You may need to drain off any excess liquid after thawing. -
Can I use raspberry syrup instead of puree?
Yes, you can substitute raspberry syrup for the puree. However, the flavor won't be as fresh or intense. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of syrup per mimosa. -
How do I prevent the mimosa from becoming too sweet?
Use a dry champagne or sparkling wine. The natural sweetness of the raspberries will balance out the dryness of the wine.
