Notes
Chill all ingredients and glasses well to keep mimosas crisp and bubbly. Use dry champagne like Brut or extra dry for best balance. Avoid stirring vigorously to preserve bubbles. Frozen berries can be used if thawed overnight and drained. Prepare berries and chill juices the day before for convenience. Keep champagne chilled and use a champagne stopper to preserve bubbles if storing leftovers.
