What goes in a non-alcoholic mimosa?

A non-alcoholic mimosa (or mimosa mocktail) contains equal parts of chilled orange juice and a bubbly non-alcoholic alternative like alcohol-free sparkling wine, citrus sparkling water, or ginger ale. I find that this simple 1:1 ratio creates the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and refreshing bubbles! The drink is typically garnished with fresh fruit like orange slices, strawberries, or cherries for an extra special touch.

What can you substitute for champagne in mimosas?

You've got several delicious options to substitute for champagne in mimosas! My go-to choices are non-alcoholic sparkling wine (which most closely mimics the traditional flavor), citrus-flavored sparkling water (for a lighter, less sweet option), or ginger ale (which adds a pleasant warmth and sweetness). You could also try lemon-lime soda for a sweeter take or a combination of plain sparkling water with a dash of white grape juice. Each option creates a slightly different flavor profile, so it's fun to experiment and find your favorite!

What is the best non-alcoholic champagne for mimosas?

In my experience testing many options (tough job, I know!), the best non-alcoholic champagne alternatives for mimosas are Fre Brut, Töst, and Martinelli's Sparkling Cider. Fre Brut has a drier, more authentic champagne taste that pairs beautifully with orange juice. Töst offers unique flavor notes that add complexity to your mocktail. And Martinelli's, while sweeter, creates a delicious, crowd-pleasing option that's widely available and budget-friendly. The perfect choice depends on how sweet you prefer your mimosa—I recommend trying a few to discover your personal favorite!
