What does an alcohol-free mimosa contain?

The mimosa is a classic 2-ingredient cocktail that was probably invented in the 1920s at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. The drink is on the International Bartender Association’s list of official IBA cocktails, meaning there’s an “official” definition of mimosa: orange juice and champagne. How do you make a mimosa without alcohol? Substitute champagne for ginger ale. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Pour them together and you’ll be amazed at how the flavor mimics a mimosa without being too literal. The hint of ginger on the finish gives it an interesting note. It’s quick and easy to find both of these ingredients at your local grocery store!

Best orange juice for a mimosa

When it comes to a non-alcoholic mimosa, what’s better for the orange juice component?

• Fresh juice always tastes better but you may not be able to squeeze fresh juice for a crowd.
• Fresh bottled juice without pulp is the best: and make sure no sugar is added!
• Avoid concentrated orange juice if you can: it doesn’t have the right taste or texture.

Best Ginger Ale Brands

How about ginger ale for a non-alcoholic mimosa? Since this isn’t a ginger ale cocktail that mixes with high-quality alcohol, you can get by with a mid-range ginger ale. (Kids might not know the difference!) But if you’re wondering which are our favorites, here are the ones we recommend:

• Q ginger ale: Our first choice! We love that it comes in small boxes so you only need to use a little at a time. It’s also our best brand of ginger beer.
• Fever Tree Ginger Ale: Fever Tree is made with real ginger and contains no artificial sweeteners.
• Other Ginger Ale Brands: Here is a list of other top brands.

Other sparkling mixers for a non-alcoholic mimosa

• Sparkling cider
• Sparkling lemonade (make it homemade!)
• Non-alcoholic sparkling wine
