Strawberry Pink Lemonade Mimosa With Pink Whitney Vodka

If you’re looking for a refreshing, bubbly cocktail that’s perfect for spring and summer, look no further than my pink lemonade mimosa. Sweet strawberry meets tart lemonade in this easy drink that’s finished with bubbly champagne or prosecco for the ultimate brunch beverage!

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!

Pink Lemonade Mimosa Ingredients

• 2 ½ ounces prepared pink lemonade (I use strawberry)
• ½ ounce Pink Whitney vodka 
• 3 ounces chilled champagne or prosecco

Step By Step Instructions

1. Add pink lemonade and Pink Whitney vodka to a champagne flute and stir to mix

2. Top with chilled champagne or prosecco

3. Garnish with a slice of lemon or a fresh berry if desired, and enjoy!

Pairing Suggestions

Brunch Favorites

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!
