- If you don’t have access to fresh oranges, you can purchase bottled orange juice to use in this recipe.
- In a pinch, you can also use ingredients like lime juice, blood oranges, white grape juice, or the juice of other citrus fruits (don’t use lemon juice though as it won’t be sweet enough).
Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Of course, it would not be considered a true mimosa, but any flavorful juice of your choice would be delicious. Try cranberry juice or pomegranate juice to mix things up a bit and add it to your drink lineup for new, fun options!
This easy mimosa mocktail is best made just before serving to preserve the freshness and sparkling nature of the drink.
It depends. A regular mimosa does not usually have ice cubes. So, try to chill the ingredients so the drink is cold when served. Otherwise, you can use ice cubes but they will dilute the flavors.
