Ginger Strawberry Mimosa Recipe
My mind is always on recipes that are perfect for brunch, including the perfect brunch cocktails. That is how this Ginger Strawberry Mimosa was born!
You could also refer to it as a Bellini. Mimosas have champagne and OJ, while Bellinis have fruit purée and prosecco. This one has all those elements - strawberry purée, orange juice and sparkling wine.
This brunch cocktail has another little something special. We've had a thing for using ginger ale in our cocktails lately. My husband, Steven, loves ginger ale, so we keep it on hand, and it just sounded like a great addition to this mimosa.
I looove the sweet and spicy combination that occurred. Not spicy in your traditional way of thinking like a jalapeño, but ginger has a full-bodied spice to it that is unmistakable if you're accustomed to it. Bellinis typically have one part fruit purée to two parts bubbly (Prosecco, champagne, soda, etc.). This recipe combines Prosecco, with ginger ale, plus a strawberry-orange juice combination that is heavenly!

Ingredients
Here's your shopping list for this cocktail:
- fresh strawberries: You could also use thawed frozen strawberries for your purée if you don't have fresh ones available.
- orange juice: Fresh is delicious, but regular orange juice will work just fine as well. I've made this with mango-orange juice and it's good, too!
- sparkling wine: Any sparkling wine such as prosecco or champagne works great. I recommend choosing a dry or semi-dry, as the other ingredients are pretty sweet.
- ginger ale: You can even use ginger beer for an extra punch of flavor.
How to Make Ginger Strawberry Mimosas
The strawberries are puréed in a food processor and then mixed with the orange juice of your choice. Optionally, strain the strawberry purée to remove seeds.
Then, you're ready to make the drinks! Slowly fill a champagne flute about ⅓ of the way full with the strawberry orange juice mixture.
Pour ginger ale over the top. Then add prosecco. (The prosecco will bubble over if you add too much at a time!) Mix cocktail gently with a spoon.
What to Serve with Mimosas
This Ginger Strawberry Bellini is the perfect brunch cocktail for Easter, Mother's Day, or just a brunch with friends! Whatever the occasion, this is the perfect cocktail to help celebrate and relax with friends and family.
They're great with a stunning dish like Breakfast Quiche or a simple Baked Frittata. On the side, we always have fruit salad and breakfast potatoes.
FAQ
They're quite similar. Both are made with sparkling wine and both have a variation of fruit in them. Traditionally speaking, mimosas have orange juice and French champagne, while a classic bellini is made with puréed fruit (usually peach) and Italian prosecco. This drink has both things that traditionally make a cocktail either a mimosa or a bellini.

I'm a mimosa girl myself, but I've had a few good bellinis as well. This sounds yummy!
Madison. This looks insane! You put some of my favorite things into a drink... and I'm gonna have to try this, like, immediately. Too bad I don't have all the ingredients on hand. 😉
Bellinis are one of my fav brunch drinks! I remember I had the first one ever with my mom and it was strawberry... YUM. I bet the ginger gives such a great little spice kick to the whole drink! Can't wait to try this one.
