Garnish with fruit. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Purees vs. Juices: You can use fruit purees or 100% fruit juices to make mimosas. Fruit juices are made by extracting the juice from the fruit - so they are made up of 100% juice. Purees, on the other hand, are made by blending the entire fruit (skin, pulp, and all) into a viscous liquid. Take-away: Using a puree will yield mimosas with more body and slightly stronger fruity flavor.
Layering Champagne Cocktail: If you add the Chambord to the flute last it will sink to the bottom to create the layers of swirly colors!
