Tart & Refreshing Raspberry Sparkling Wine Mimosa Recipe

Today I’m sharing a simple raspberry sparkling wine mimosa recipe that would be the perfect complement to a spring or summer meal, such as a Mother’s Day brunch!

Wow, the first month of spring has certainly whipped by around here…but I confess I’m thrilled and grateful that May has arrived! It just might be my favourite month of the year. The weather is turning warmer, the days are much longer, and we often get stretches of lovely sunshine. Always so welcome after what is usually a rainier month in April.

Plus! May means Mother’s Day! A day devoted to celebrating all that we do to care for those whom are most important to us in the world. Us Moms. We’re hard to beat, right? I’ll toast to that!

It’s always fun to get together with our extended family on Mother’s Day for some kind of fun celebration, whether it be lunch, dinner, or a brunch! And today I’ve joined up with some of my blogging friends to share our menu ideas and recipes for Mother’s Day brunch.

Mine just happens to be a version of a mimosa, which is a favourite brunch treat to enjoy on holiday occasions. Since raspberries are one of my most loved fruits, I thought why not add that into the mix instead of regular old orange juice.

And I’m glad I did, because these raspberry sparkling wine mimosas, are absolutely delicious! This refreshing drink was very simple to make and lends them selves easily to an alcohol-free or kid version, as well!

Simply begin by placing some frozen raspberries, along with a small wedge of lemon and mint leaf inside of a wine glass or champagne flute. I like to use frozen raspberries for this step because then you can keep your drink cold without adding ice, which will water down the flavour as it melts.

Then pour in enough raspberry juice to fill 1/3 or so of the glass, and top it off with the sparkling white wine (or champagne).

For kids or non-drinkers, simply substitute some lemon lime soda for the sparkling wine. It makes for a delicious (kid-approved!) treat!
