Ingredients

Scale

For Strawberry Simple Syrup:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, quartered (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 1-inch pieces of orange peel
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (57ml) water
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint (plus extra for garnish)

For Mimosas:

  • ⅓ cup (76ml) Grand Marnier liqueur
  • 1 cup (227ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 bottle prosecco or champagne
  • Orange slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Simple Syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, orange peel, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a rolling simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low.
  2. Continue simmering for about 20 minutes, gently mashing the strawberries with a wooden spoon as they soften. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh mint sprigs. Let the mixture cool for 30 minutes.
  4. Once cooled, discard the mint sprigs and orange peel. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into an airtight container.
  5. Store the syrup in the refrigerator until chilled, or up to 1 week. Stir well before using.
  6. Make the Mimosas: Combine the chilled strawberry simple syrup with the Grand Marnier, stirring until well mixed.
  7. To assemble each mimosa, pour 2 tablespoons of the syrup mixture into a champagne flute, followed by 3 tablespoons of orange juice. Fill the glass almost to the top with prosecco or champagne.
  8. Garnish each glass with a small strawberry, an orange slice on the rim, and a sprig of fresh mint.
  9. Repeat for the remaining glasses. This recipe makes about 6 mimosas.
