Why We Love This Recipe

  • Fresh and seasonal: This is a great cocktail to make and enjoy during the summer, when raspberries are at their peak of freshness and sweetness.
  • Homemade raspberry syrup: Muddling and straining the raspberries through a fine mesh sieve creates homemade raspberry puree, without the need to cook them on the stove or dirty a blender.
  • Perfect for brunch: Make the raspberry puree the night before and serve these up fresh for a gorgeous brunch cocktail!
  • Sweet, tart and bubbly: Don't get me wrong, I like a classic mimosa, but this raspberry mimosa is truly next level! With fresh raspberry puree for tartness, simple syrup for sweetness, prosecco rosé for fizz and a splash of raspberry liqueur for an extra punch, this is such a flavorful cocktail.
  • Quick and easy: This raspberry mimosa comes together in about 5 minutes with just 4 ingredients.

Just 4 ingredients!

Ingredient Notes

  • Raspberries: We used the freshest raspberries we could find in this recipe. Frozen raspberries can work, too, just be sure to defrost before muddling in order to get the most liquid out of them as possible.
  • Sparkling wine: We used Prosecco Rosé, but you can use whatever sparkling wine you prefer, including Champagne or Cava.
  • Chambord: Chambord is a raspberry liqueur that has hints of vanilla, citrus, and honey. If you can't get your hands on any, no worries, you can just leave it out. However, we do think it adds a lot to this cocktail, so don't skip it if you have some on hand!
  • Simple syrup: We used a pre-made simple syrup to save on time, but you can also make your own by combining equal amounts of sugar and water and heating on the stove until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Perfect for holidays: These raspberry mimosas are a great choice for so many holidays – Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, birthdays, bridal showers & more!

Step-by-step Instructions

(1) Add raspberries to a fine mesh sieve and place over a bowl. Use a cocktail muddler or a wooden spoon to muddle the raspberries, pressing the juice through the sieve into the bowl. It may take several passes with a spatula or spoon to press out all of the juice. Scrape the bottom of the sieve to get any extra juices.

Raspberry Mimosa Variations

  • Mocktail: Replace the Chambord and sparkling wine with an equal amount of club soda or non alcoholic sparkling wine.
  • Raspberry Orange: Replace the Chambord with an equal amount of an orange liqueur, like Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
  • Raspberry Lemonade: Add the juice of half a small lemon to each cocktail.
  • Moscato: Use a (typically lightly sparkling) Moscato as your sparkling wine in this recipe for a pinker color.

Expert Tips and FAQs

  • Muddling the raspberries: If you don't have a muddler, feel free to use a spoon to mash the raspberries. Alternatively, you can blend the raspberries in a blender, then strain through the sieve to separate the juice and seeds.
  • To get the most juice possible out of the raspberries, alternate pushing the pulp through the sieve with scraping off the bottom so that more liquid can pass through. This helps clear any seeds that may be blocking liquid from going through.
  • Make ahead: Make the raspberry juice ahead of time and mix with the simple syrup and chambord. When ready to serve, pour that mixture into your glass and simply top off with sparkling wine!
  • Everything tastes best chilled: For the most refreshing cocktail, chill all of the components to this raspberry mimosa for several hours before assembling. You can also chill the cocktail glasses before serving to keep this drink extra cool!
  • For an extra boozy cocktail, feel free to add an ounce or so of vodka. You'll probably have to serve it in a larger glass, though!
  • Serving suggestions: This raspberry mimosa pairs beautifully with sweet breakfast and brunch items, like crispy waffles or raspberry muffins. It's also great with desserts like white chocolate cheesecake or a silky chocolate tart.
When are raspberries in season?

Raspberries are at their peak in July and August, but they're harvested until October.

What's the difference between champagne and sparkling wine?

Sparkling wine can only be called champagne if it comes from a specific region in France (not surprisingly called Champagne!). In other words, all champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wine is champagne. It all has to do with where the wine is produced!

So, if you're not sure whether to use sparkling wine, or true champagne in these raspberry mimosas, rest assured that either is perfectly fine!

How do you make simple syrup?

Bring equal parts sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan, stir until sugar dissolves, remove from heat and let cool. For a small batch, we suggest ½ cup each of sugar and water. Store in refrigerator.
