Our family loves to toast in the Christmas season with a fun and festive drink and this Non-Alcoholic Christmas Mimosa is sure to get everyone in the holiday spirit.
Having a mocktail option is nice because not everyone enjoys a boozy drink and this has all the flavor, bubbles, and cheeriness without the fuzziness.
I am all about a quick throw-together drink, especially one that doesn’t require any standing time for flavors to develop. All the ingredients are ready to go. Just mix and enjoy!
My non-alcoholic Christmas sangria is also a delicious and festive drink you might want to add to your holiday menu.
Simple Ingredients:
- Orange juice- I like to use a good quality OJ and one without any pulp for a smooth drink.
- Cranberry juice- You’ll want to use 100% juice from cranberries. This only means there is no-sugar added from the juice of those cranberries.
- Sparkling cider- Use your favorite flavored sparkling cider. For this recipe I use the original apple flavor.
- Fresh cranberries- This is optional but adds a festive look. Frozen cranberries would also work.
Substitutions & Variations:
- Other fruit juices that would work well together- Try using pomegranate juice, fruit punch, or pineapple juice. Add other fizzy drinks like lemon lime soda, ginger ale, or Fresca. If you want it less sweet add club soda.
- Fruit and herb garnish- My favorite part is to dress up the drink with festive garnishes. Cranberries are perfect for the season but orange or apple slices would be pretty. Herbs like thyme, mint, and rosemary add a pop of green making the drink super fun and inviting.
- Booze it up- Add champagne, prosecco, or other sparkling wine if you want to jazz up your drink.
Make Christmas Mimosa In One Easy Step!
This is for a single serving only. Check out the recipe card for a full batch.
- In a regular size champagne or flute glass add orange juice just under half way up the glass. Add a splash of cranberry juice bringing the liquid up to half way. Fill the rest of the glass with sparkling cider and garnish with cranberries if desired. Super easy!
Recipe Tips:
- 💡Make sure all the liquids are cold- This drink is best served cold. You can certainly add ice to the drink but it will dilute the flavor over time. Place the fruit juices and sparkling cider in the refrigerator until chilled.
- 💡Making a big batch- If you’re making this drink for a crowd make sure to assemble just before serving, or reserve the sparkling cider until serving time so it stays nice and bubbly.
