Everyone loves to cool off with an ice-cold glass of lemonade. So when coming up with a brunch drink recipe I couldn’t resist the change to put a new spin on the classic favorite. Move over orange juice, there is a new mimosa for brunches — a Strawberry Lemonade Mimosa. And it might just be the perfect, girly cocktail for a summer brunch.
The Strawberry Lemonade Mimosa maybe all pink and girly, but I handed my husband a glass to sample and not only did he enjoy it he asked for his own glass.
Strawberry Lemonade Mimosa
Made with fresh strawberries and lemons this summer cocktail has just the right amount of sweetness but is also waist-line friendly because the tangy lemonade is sweetened with Sweet ‘N Low. Plus all of the benefits of the fresh fruit, who can argue with that?
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh squeezed lemon juice (8-10 lemons)
- 1 pint of strawberries
- 5 cups of water
- 2 packets of Sweet ‘N Low
- 1 bottle of pink Moscato champagne
Squeeze 8-10 lemons, strain for seeds and large pulp and set aside.
Puree one pint of cleaned and hulled strawberries and strain for large chunks.
Combine lemon juice, purred strawberries, 5 cups of water and 20 packets of Sweet ‘N Low in a large pitcher. Stir until well mixed. Chill.
When you are ready to serve, fill champagne flutes half way with champagne. Fill the rest of the glass with strawberry lemonade.
Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade Mocktail
Because mimosas are best when the champagne is added at serving, this Strawberry Lemonade Mimosa is like three drinks in one for brunch guests. The Strawberry Lemonade base is delicious served on its own as an ice cold glass of lemonade (perfect for kids!) or you can add a splash of club soda for a Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade Mocktail.
It is a versatile and delicious drink everyone at your brunch can enjoy. And because it is such a pretty pink, wouldn’t it be perfect at a baby shower? A mimosa for guests and a mocktail for the mom-to-be.
