A Pineapple Mango Mimosa is a tropical twist on the classic brunch cocktail, blending the sweet and tart flavors of pineapple and mango with the bubbly effervescence of sparkling wine. This refreshing and colorful drink is perfect for special occasions, summer brunches, or any time you want to bring a bit of tropical flair to your table.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
- 1 cup mango nectar or puree, chilled
- 1 bottle of sparkling wine or champagne, chilled (Prosecco works well for a sweeter mimosa)
- Fresh pineapple slices and mango chunks, for garnish
- Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the Fruit Juices: If using fresh fruits, blend the pineapple and mango in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp, if desired. Chill the juices in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Mix the Mimosa: In a pitcher or large mixing glass, combine the pineapple juice and mango nectar or puree. Stir well to mix.
- Assemble the Mimosas: Fill champagne flutes or glasses halfway with the pineapple-mango mixture. Slowly top each glass with sparkling wine, allowing the wine to mix gently with the juice.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a fresh pineapple slice, a chunk of mango, and a sprig of mint, if using. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Tips:
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the sparkling wine with sparkling water, ginger ale, or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
- Adjust the ratio of juice to sparkling wine according to your taste preferences. For a fruitier drink, increase the amount of juice; for a lighter, more bubbly mimosa, use more sparkling wine.
- To keep your mimosa cold without diluting it, freeze some pineapple juice and mango nectar in ice cube trays and use these instead of regular ice cubes.
