How to Make a Non Alcoholic Mimosa

A mimosa is traditionally made with orange juice and champagne and served as a breakfast or brunch cocktail. However, if you don't drink, you can easily make a non-alcoholic variety. Simply mix a sparkling beverage with some juice for a delicious, alcohol-free mimosa.

Choosing Mixers

If you want to go for the classic mimosa taste, pick up some sparkling white grape juice at a grocery store. Sparkling white grape juice has a similar taste to champagne and will provide the traditional taste of a mimosa.^{[1]XResearch source}
You can get a little creative when making your mimosa. Try adding ginger ale as your carbonated beverage. This will be slightly different than a regular mimosa drink, but can add a gingery tang guests may enjoy.^{[2]XResearch source}

Sparkling cider is sold in a variety of flavors, such as apple and pear. If you want your mimosa to have a sweeter, fruitier taste, opt for a sparkling cider in your choice of flavor.^{[3]XResearch source}
You can go for classic orange juice for your mimosa. However, there are other juice options you can try. Things like grapefruit juice can be used for a slightly more bitter mimosa. You can also try the subtle sweetness of peach juice. Some mimosas use unique flavors of juices, such as passion fruit juice or mango juice.
Make sure you account for what you're pairing the juice with. Apple juice may not blend well with carbonated apple cider, for example, as the taste will be overpowering. Instead, try something like apple juice paired with ginger ale.

Mixing Your Drink

Pour your juice into a champagne flute or similar glass. Fill the glass less than halfway full with your juice, as you'll be adding more of your carbonated beverage.^{[4]XResearch source}

Add three parts of your carbonated beverage. After adding your juice, add your carbonated beverage to your mimosa. Strive for a rough ratio of two parts juice to three parts of your carbonated beverage.^{[5]XResearch source}
- For example, if you added a quarter cup (60 mL) of juice, you would add half a cup (120 mL) of your carbonated beverage.
Mimosas are generally not stirred.^{[6]XResearch source} They should mix well enough during pouring, and stirring may cause carbonation to become flat.

Serving Non-Alcoholic Mimosas

Before serving your mimosas, make sure the liquids you're using are cold. Keep your juice and carbonated beverage refrigerated before using it for a mimosa.^{[7]XResearch source}
You should not mix mimosas in large pitchers. It's best to serve your mimosas by pouring the drinks one by one.^{[8]XResearch source}
A light garnish can make a mimosa look attractive and add a splash of flavor. For example, garnish your drinks with fresh mint or a slice of apple, orange, or grapefruit.^{[9]XResearch source}
Continue to top off your mimosas with another splash of your carbonated beverage followed by your juice. You can add ice to keep the drinks cool as well, but keep in mind this may dull the flavor.
