Directions
- Chill Everything
Both the orange juice and the sparkling component must be fully chilled.
Warm mimosa = flat, sad, amateur. - Build the Mocktail
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh orange juice and the non-alcoholic sparkling wine or ginger ale in a strict 50/50 ratio.
Add the pinch of fine sea salt and stir very gently once or twice — just enough to integrate without killing carbonation. - Serve
Fill glasses with ice if desired (traditional mimosas are served without).
Pour the mimosa mocktail and garnish with orange slices and optional fresh raspberries.
Serve immediately.
*Notes :
- 50/50 is sacred. More juice = fruit punch. More fizz = flavored soda.
- Salt must be invisible — it sharpens citrus and bubbles. If you taste it, you screwed up.
- Use fresh-squeezed orange juice only. Bottled juice kills the drink instantly.
- Ginger ale version adds spice and depth; sparkling wine version stays classic and clean.
- Never pre-mix far in advance — carbonation dies fast.
- This drink has a short life. Respect it.
