2. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz gin, 1 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice, 0.75 oz simple syrup, and 1 large egg white without ice.
3. Secure the shaker lid tightly and dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
4. Add ice cubes to the shaker, filling it halfway, and shake again for an additional 10 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
5. Discard the ice from the chilled highball glass and strain the shaken mixture into the glass through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice chips.
6. Gently add 4 oz chilled club soda by pouring it slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.
7. Add 2-3 drops of pink food coloring and use a bar spoon to stir gently once, just until the color is evenly distributed without deflating the foam.

A delightful twist on the classic brunch cocktail, this Strawberry Rosé Mimosa combines fresh fruit with sparkling wine for a refreshing sip. Perfect for celebrations or lazy weekends, it’s surprisingly simple to craft with just a few quality ingredients.

– 1 bottle brut champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
2. Mash the strawberries with a fork for 2-3 minutes until they release their juices and form a chunky puree. (Tip: For a smoother texture, use a muddler to break down the berries more effectively.)
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the strawberry mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sugar to dissolve completely.
4. Remove the chilled strawberry mixture from the refrigerator and stir it gently to incorporate any separated juices.

6. Pour 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice into each flute over the strawberry mixture.
7. Slowly top each glass with 1/2 cup chilled brut champagne or sparkling wine, tilting the glass to preserve carbonation. (Tip: Chill all ingredients beforehand to maintain optimal effervescence and prevent dilution.)
8. Stir each mimosa gently with a long spoon to combine the layers without overmixing, which could flatten the bubbles.
9. Serve immediately while effervescent. (Tip: Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice on the rim for an elegant presentation.)
With its vibrant pink hue and lively bubbles, this mimosa offers a balanced sweetness from the macerated strawberries and a crisp, dry finish from the rosé.
