Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This pink lemonade mimosa is a fun and fruity twist on traditional mimosas, swapping pink lemonade for the traditional orange juice. It’s just 3 ingredients, meaning it doesn’t get much easier than that!

As an added bonus, pink lemonade is really just a coloring and not any specific flavor, so you can use any pink lemonade variety you want! I use strawberry, because I think it’s the perfect combination with champagne or prosecco for a spring and summer brunch beverage. However, there are plenty of other great choices too!

Add in a little Pink Whitney vodka to reinforce the flavors and add some extra strength to the drink (or skip it and go with a 2-ingredient version)!

This mimosa is also a great choice for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day because of the sweet, fruity flavors and pink coloring, but honestly it’s a flavor I go to anytime the weather is warm!

Ingredient Tips and Substitutions

Recipe FAQs

What is a Pink Lemonade Mimosa?

A pink lemonade mimosa offers a unique twist on the classic mimosa by combining the tartness of pink lemonade with the effervescence of champagne, resulting in a refreshing and vibrant cocktail.

The addition of flavored vodka, liqueurs, or fresh fruit can add a fun variation as well.

Can I Use Any Type of Champagne?

While any type of champagne can be used for a pink lemonade mimosa, a dry or brut champagne is typically preferred to balance the sweetness of the pink lemonade.

However, feel free to use your favorite champagne, prosecco, or sparkling wine for a personalized touch.

Can I Make a Mocktail Version?

Yes, you can easily make a non-alcoholic mocktail version of a pink lemonade mimosa by substituting sparkling water, lemon lime soda, or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine for the champagne. Omit the vodka entirely.

This allows you to enjoy the same refreshing flavors without the alcohol content.

Are There Any Variations of Pink Lemonade Mimosas?

Absolutely! You can experiment with different fruit juices or pink lemonades, such as raspberry or strawberry, to create unique variations.

Additionally, adding a splash of flavored liqueur like raspberry or elderflower can add a unique twist.

Tips For the Best Pink Lemonade Mimosa

  • To adjust the strength of the drink, you can add more or less lemonade, and omit the vodka to reduce the strength further
  • Adjust the sweetness of pink lemonade mimosas by using more or less pink lemonade according to your taste preferences. Feel free to add a touch of simple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter cocktail, or add some fresh lemon juice or dilute the pink lemonade with a bit of still or unsweetened sparkling water for a less sweet option
  • Champagne flutes vary in size widely, so you may need to double the recipe if your glasses are very large (I used 6 ounce flutes when I made these)

Storage and Serving

  • You can mix the vodka and lemonade together (plus any other liqueurs you are using) up to 48 hours in advance, storing it in a sealed pitcher in the refrigerator. Fill individual glasses about half full and top with champagne or prosecco immediately before serving for maximum fizziness!

Final Thoughts

This pink lemonade mimosa is the perfect choice for your spring and summer brunch menu! With the addition of Pink Whitney vodka to reinforce the color and flavor, it’s the perfect sweet sip.

With just 3 ingredients, it’s also easy to put together, and you can mix everything but the prosecco or champagne in advance which makes it great for entertaining. Add a carafe to your brunch bar for a strawberry (or other pink drink) flavor combination.

Thanks to the pale pink color, you can also serve this cocktail up for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or a bridal shower, making it suitable for a lot of occasions. It’s so delicious, though, you’ll want to make it a weekly brunch tradition!
