Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 750 mL Prosecco, chilled
- 2 1/2 cups orange juice
- Grenadine (about 1/2 teaspoon per glass)
- Orange Bitters (a couple dashes per glass)
Fruits & Garnishes
- 8 ounces strawberries, stem removed (about 2 cups)

Instructions
- Blend Strawberries and Orange Juice: Place the strawberries and orange juice in a blender and pulse until the mixture is smooth. To ensure a silky texture, strain the mixture through a mesh sieve, removing seeds and pulp.
- Add Grenadine: Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of grenadine into the bottom of each of 4 champagne flutes. This will create the beautiful sunrise effect in the cocktail.
- Fill with Strawberry-Orange Mixture: Pour the strained strawberry and orange juice mixture into each glass, filling them about halfway. This forms the fruity base of the mimosa.
- Top with Prosecco and Bitters: Gently fill the rest of each glass with chilled Prosecco to add effervescence. Then, add a couple of dashes of orange bitters on top to enhance the citrus flavor and balance the sweetness.
- Garnish and Serve: Add a slice of orange and a strawberry on the rim of each flute for a decorative and flavorful touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Sunrise Strawberry Mimosa Cocktail!
