Skinny Mimosa Mocktail Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What can you substitute champagne for in mimosa? ›

What should you use instead? Prosecco is often recommended as a substitute for Champagne in mimosas, and Prosecco's fruitier profile can be nice in a sparkling co*cktail. However, I think Cava, a sparkling wine made in Spain, works best for mimosas.

For each drink, pour 2 ounces juice into a champagne flute. Add a splash of Cointreau if using, then top off with about 4 ounces Champagne just before serving. Repeat, keeping the Champagne and juice chilled between drinks.

Use Champagne, Cava (from Spain), an American sparkling wine, or dry Prosecco (from Italy). We used brut Champagne in our video. Cava and Prosecco are usually the least expensive. Orange juice: I love fresh-squeezed orange juice for co*cktails like mimosas.

Furthermore, Bloody Marys have less sugar than other brunch drinks, such as mimosas. Like alcohol, sugar causes dehydration and is processed through the liver. Sugary drinks also lead to a rapid spike in blood sugar, which can eventually cause a headache and a hangover.

Put as simply as possible, non-alcoholic prosecco is a version of the classic Italian drink which has had the alcohol removed. Where a typical prosecco has an ABV of around 12%, a non-alcoholic prosecco substitute has zero alcohol present, making it the perfect celebratory choice for those who don't drink.

Mimosa –or – Bloody Mary

Both of these brunch classics clock in around 125 calories (for a standard size), but the Bloody Mary (made with tomato juice and vodka) has less sugar than the mimosa (a combo of OJ and champagne).

Due to its ability to grow and reproduce along roadways and disturbed areas, and its tendency to readily establish after escaping from cultivation, mimosa is considered an invasive plant and not recommended for any use by the IFAS Assessment.

Both are made with Champagne or sparkling wine and just one other ingredient — orange juice in mimosas, and peach puree in Bellinis. Though two very simple co*cktails to make, their journey to becoming the drink of choice at brunch are two different paths.

Can you use Moscato for mimosas? ›

Best Orange Juice for Mimosas

If you ask our Test Kitchen, the brand to reach for is Tropicana. “This one has a good balance of sweet and tangy,” explains Josh. This along with the smooth, pulp-free texture makes it the perfect mixer for sparkling wine.

The Buck's Fizz and Mimosa are very similar co*cktails, the Buck's Fizz is made with two-parts champagne to one-part orange juice, while the Mimosa is made with equal-parts champagne and orange juice.

Raventos Blanc de Blancs Sparkling

The affordability of this bottle makes it one of the best champagnes for mimosas. Don't be fooled with the price tag, though, this sparkling wine is vibrant enough to stand on its own.
