Step 1: Prepare the Fruits
Wash the mango and strawberries thoroughly. Dice the mango into small, uniform pieces, ensuring you remove the pit. Similarly, dice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces. The uniformity in size will help with blending and create a smoother consistency.
Step 2: Blend the Fruit Mixture
In a blender, combine the diced mango, strawberries, and orange juice. Blend until smooth, creating a vibrant and fragrant fruit puree. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of orange juice or a tablespoon of water. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the mixture too frothy.
Step 3: Chill the Fruit Mixture
For the best results, chill the fruit mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before assembling the mimosas. This will ensure that the mimosas are served cold and refreshing. If you're short on time, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender during the blending process, but be mindful of the consistency, as this may dilute the flavors slightly.
Step 4: Prepare the Champagne Flutes (Optional)
If you wish to add a touch of elegance, rim the champagne flutes with sugar. To do this, lightly moisten the rim of each glass with water or orange juice, then dip it into a plate of sugar. Gently rotate the glass to ensure an even coating of sugar. Allow the sugar to dry for a few minutes before filling the glasses.
Step 5: Assemble the Mimosas
Pour the chilled fruit mixture into each champagne flute, filling it about halfway. Slowly top off each glass with chilled champagne, allowing the bubbles to gently mix with the fruit puree. Be careful not to overfill the glasses, as the champagne can create a significant amount of foam.
