Notes

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
    • Strawberries and Raspberries: Fresh or frozen berries will work just fine.
  • Champagne: Mimosas are very forgiving when made with cheap champagne.
  • I like to use dry (also called brut) champagne since the fruit already has a lot of sweetness.
  • Half and Half: If you don't want to buy half and half just for this recipe you can use equal parts milk and heavy cream.
    •  
    Sugar: Depending on how tart your raspberries are, add more or less to taste as you go.
Krystle's Tips
  1. Chill: Chill your glasses to keep your drink cold.
  2. Champagne Flutes: If you don't have the glass version in your cabinets yet, you can usually find plastic ones at party supply stores.
  3. Avoid stirring the drink, which can lead to a flat drink. Instead, swirl your glass to combine everything.
  4. Be sure your champagne is ice cold too. I like to put mine in the fridge about 24 hours ahead.
