Sangria Mimosas

Easy Sangria Mimosas Recipe – good mimosas loaded with fruit and wine flavor suited to brunch!

At Avdaye, we add lots of tips in all of our recipes – because we are a home cook without any formal training, and we find we are more confident making dishes when we understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. Our goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

What Alcohol To Use In Sangria Mimosas

For this recipe, we will be using:

• 4 oz Amaretto
• 1 bottle pinot gris or other light white wine
• 1 bottle Prosecco, chilled

When selecting your amaretto and sparkling wine, you'll want to pick brands you love the flavor of.

We personally prefer La Marca Prosecco for this drink – its light, crisp flavor pairs perfectly with fruit, and it can usually be found for under $20.

We recommend a cheap slightly sweet white wine for the sangria base – we personally prefer Rene Barbier Mediterranean White (under $10) – which isn't normally a pick when cooking, but in sangria with fruit and amaretto, we find cheaper white wines taste much better.

Pick an amaretto brand you like – since we're not using a ton, you can also buy little bottles.

How To Pre-Make Sangria For Mimosas

We prefer the flavor of this drink when made 1-2 hours ahead of time, so the fruit and alcohol can come together better.

To make ahead of time, mix all ingredients EXCEPT sparkling wine, and cover with plastic wrap in a pitcher. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

To mix, pour refrigerated fruit and alcohol into glass, and top up with sparkling wine. Stir to mix.

What Fruit to Use In Sangria Mimosas

While we're using oranges and strawberries here, you can add all sorts of fruit to help flavor your cocktail.

• Apples
• Oranges
• Blackberries
• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Kiwis (skin removed)
• Dragonfruit
• Starfruit
• Grapes

We recommend lightly pressing fruit with the back of a spoon to help release more of the fruit's flavor.

You can also use frozen fruit in summer to help keep your drink cold!
