🧂 Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries

quartered, plus more, for garnish
2 1-inch pieces orange peel
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (57 ml) water
2 sprigs fresh mint

plus more, for garnish
1/3 cup (76 ml) Grand Marnier liqueur
1 cup (227 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
1 bottle prosecco or champagne
orange slices

for garnish

Instructions

1 To make the strawberry simple syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat,
combine the strawberries, orange peel, sugar, and water. Bring to a rolling
simmer, then reduce to the heat medium-low and continue simmering, gently
mashing up the strawberries with a wooden spoon, until the sugar has completely
dissolved and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.
2 Remove from heat, stir in the sprigs of mint, and set aside and cool for 30
minutes. Once cool, discard the mint and orange peel, and strain through a
fine-mesh strainer. Pour into an airtight container and store in the fridge
until chilled, or up to 1 week. Stir well before using.
3 To make the mimosas: Stir the grand Marnier into the chilled simple syrup,
mixing well to combine. Fill a champagne flute with 2 Tablespoons of the simple
syrup mixture, 3 Tablespoons of the orange juice, and then fill almost all the
way to the top with prosecco or champagne.
4 Place a small strawberry and slice of orange on the rim of each glass and
garnish with a sprig of mint. Repeat with all glasses. (Makes about 6 mimosas).
