Simple & Elegant Mimosa Mocktail

This easy, two-ingredient recipe delivers all the celebratory feel of a traditional mimosa without any alcohol. It’s perfect for everyone to enjoy!

Ingredients

• Orange juice, chilled (about 2-3 oz per serving)
• Non-alcoholic sparkling wine, chilled (about 2-3 oz per serving) OR
• Citrus sparkling water, chilled OR
• Ginger ale, chilled
• Optional garnishes: fresh orange slice, strawberry, or cherries

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chill your ingredients. For the absolute best mimosa mocktail, make sure both your orange juice and your bubbly alternative are properly chilled. (Room temperature ingredients will melt the ice too quickly and dilute those wonderful flavors!)
2. Prepare your champagne flutes. There’s something so special about using proper champagne flutes for this drink—it instantly makes it feel more festive! If you don’t have champagne flutes, any nice glass will work too.
3. Add equal amounts of orange juice and your sparkling alternative. I typically use about 2-3 ounces of each, but you can adjust to your taste preference. Some people prefer more orange juice for a fruitier drink, while others like more bubbles! Pour the orange juice first, then slowly add the sparkling component to preserve the bubbles.
4. Garnish beautifully. Add a fresh orange slice on the rim of the glass, or drop in a strawberry or cherry for a pop of color. These little touches make your mocktail feel extra special!
5. Serve immediately. These mocktails are best enjoyed right away while they’re perfectly bubbly and cold.

Variations and Substitutions

You can easily customize this mimosa mocktail to suit different tastes or what you have on hand. Here are some of my favorite variations:

• Berry Twist: Add a splash of cranberry juice or strawberry puree for a beautiful pink drink!
• Tropical Delight: Replace half the orange juice with pineapple juice for a vacation-worthy flavor.
• Citrus Medley: Use a combination of fresh-squeezed orange, grapefruit, and a touch of lime for a complex citrus profile.
• Herbal Note: Add a sprig of fresh mint or rosemary to the glass for an aromatic twist.

What are my best tips for perfect mimosa mocktails?

Creating the perfect mocktail is all about balance and presentation. Here are my tried-and-true tips:

• Use freshly squeezed orange juice when possible. The bright, fresh flavor makes such a difference! If using store-bought, look for high-quality, not-from-concentrate options.
• Serve in properly chilled glasses. Place your champagne flutes in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing drink.
• Pour slowly when adding your sparkling component to preserve those beautiful bubbles.
• Make a mocktail bar for gatherings! Set out different juices and sparkling options so guests can create their own custom blends.
• Quality matters when there are only two ingredients. Use the best orange juice and sparkling alternative you can find.

Storage and Serving

While these mimosa mocktails are best prepared fresh, you can keep the components ready in the refrigerator:

Store orange juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep your sparkling component sealed and refrigerated according to package instructions, but once opened, try to use it within 1-2 days for best bubbles.

I don’t recommend pre-mixing these drinks as they’ll lose their delightful fizz. Instead, have all components chilled and ready to go, then mix individual servings as needed.
