Pineapple Mimosa
A refreshing and bubbly pineapple mimosa combines sweet pineapple juice with sparkling champagne, perfect for brunches or celebrations with a tropical twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour pineapple juice into ice cube trays and freeze to make pineapple cubes.
- Measure 1 cup of chilled pineapple juice and 1 cup of pineapple juice cubes or ice cubes into a blender.
- Whirl until foamy.
- Add 1/2 cup of champagne and whirl for 2 seconds.
- Let stand for 30 seconds to allow foam to settle.
- Pour into 2 or 3 glasses.
- To make a larger quantity, fill the blender to capacity using the same proportions.
Tips & Substitutions
For a refreshing twist, try adding a splash of coconut water to the blender for extra flavor. If you don't have pineapple juice cubes, regular ice cubes work fine but may dilute the drink. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the champagne with sparkling water for a light and bubbly experience. You can also use any fruit juice you enjoy for a fun variation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pineapple Mimosa in elegant flutes for a chic presentation. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices or mint leaves for a vibrant touch. This drink pairs beautifully with brunch dishes like pancakes or fruit salads. For a themed gathering, consider serving alongside 'An Evening Of Poetry' or tropical-inspired appetizers.
Storage & Reheating
Pineapple juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you have leftover champagne or sparkling water, keep it sealed tightly in the fridge, but consume it within a day or two for optimal fizz. Avoid freezing any mixed drinks as the texture will change once thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Pineapple Mimosas ahead of time?
While it's best to serve them fresh for optimal fizz, you can prepare the pineapple juice and ice cubes in advance. Just blend and mix with champagne right before serving to ensure they remain bubbly and refreshing.
What can I substitute for pineapple juice?
If you're looking for alternatives, consider using orange juice or a blend of tropical juices like mango or passionfruit. Each will give a unique flavor profile to your mimosa while maintaining a delightful sweetness.
Is there a way to make this drink less sweet?
To reduce sweetness, opt for a drier champagne or sparkling wine. You can also add a splash of soda water to dilute the juice slightly, maintaining the bubbly texture while balancing the sweetness.
