Can you use a different type of fruit?

Of course! The options are limitless as far as your fruit combos go.

Try using fruits like kiwis, bright citruses, and berries to keep the tropical feel going, but the options and combinations are limitless.

To add a little something different to the drink, try adding herbs! Mint would make an AWESOME addition to the tropical feel, and adds to the refreshing taste!

This frozen bellini below is another great option for a frozen cocktail. 

Can you use a different alcohol in this recipe?

Absolutely! Any sparkling wine would work in this tropical mimosa. Some good suggestions are:

  • Crémant – This French sparkling wine is an amazing substitute for champagne; similar taste with a little French twist!
  • Pétillant Naturel – For a rustic feel, try this French classic! Pétillant Naturel is a truly unique bottle, each one is a little different from the next! This definitely will add some fun to your drink making.
  • Moscato d’Asti – For a sparkling wine with a lower alcohol content, this is a perfect choice! Its sweetness will go well with any tropical fruit mixture you can imagine!
  • Cava – This Spanish wine will add a special flair to your tropical cocktails! With a hint of the sea in each bottle, the sweet and salty mixture is dreamy and will transport you straight to the beach!
  • Lambrusco – For a red twist on this tropical getaway, try adding this Italian gem. It’ll surely be the stand-out of the night!
  • Non-Alcoholic – Try using a sparkling grape juice if you want to have a family friendly mimosa! Just as delicious and easy to do!

Basically, you can pick any sparkly, bubbly drink you want and chances are, it’s going to taste delicious!

Not a fan of the coconut rum in the mixture? Feel free to use any kind of coconut rum you like! Or change it up and use a different tropical flavored liquor like lime, kiwi, grapefruit, passionfruit – whatever sounds good!

If you’re feeling really adventurous, you could try using fruit liquors like dragon fruit, lychee, hibiscus, papaya, or guava!

What should you serve with Tropical Mimosas?

  • Anything eggy! – Try making my Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs or Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict for a brunch hit! Serve it with some tropical fruit salad to tie it all together.
  • Berry french toast. – Make your favorite french toast recipe and serve it up with my Instant Pot Strawberry Sauce or Blueberry Syrup for a double-fruity flavor burst.
  • Pancakes – My Blueberry Pancakes will be a delicious treat to have with these babies! Fluffy pancakes with the sweet and tangy tropical mimosa is a truly decadent taste.
  • Shrimp – What goes better with tropical flavors than seafood? Try making my Shrimp Ceviche and Coconut Shrimp for your next cocktail party instead of a boring shrimp ring! You’ll feel like you’re right in the Bahamas!
  • Coconut – Anything with coconut would be amazing with this drink, and I have my eyes set on a dreamy, tropical dessert with my Toasted Coconut Cake Recipe! What could be better than eating cake, sipping a drink, and feeling the warm sunshine on you?
