Bright, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make, the Pineapple Mimosa is the perfect tropical brunch cocktail that elevates any gathering. This delightful drink combines the tangy sweetness of fresh pineapple juice with the effervescence of sparkling wine, creating a vibrant and festive beverage that’s perfect for celebrations or a relaxing weekend brunch.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup fresh pineapple juice (preferably from ripe, juicy pineapples)
1 bottle (750 ml) sparkling wine (such as prosecco or champagne)
1-2 teaspoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Prepare the Pineapple Juice: If using fresh pineapples, cut the pineapple into quarters, remove the core, and blend the fruit until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
Chill Ingredients: Place your sparkling wine in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to serving to ensure it’s nicely chilled.
Mix the Mimosa: In a champagne flute or glass, pour approximately 1/3 cup of fresh pineapple juice. If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in simple syrup to taste.
Add the Sparkling Wine: Slowly pour the sparkling wine into the glass, filling it to the top. Pour gently to avoid excessive fizzing.
Garnish: Add a few fresh pineapple chunks to the glass for a visually appealing touch and additional flavor.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Pineapple Mimosa right away while it’s fresh and bubbly!
