Mimosa recipes without orange juice are one of the newest trends in brunch cuisine. Simply take a bottle of grapefruit juice, or any other flavor you prefer, mix it with champagne and voila!
You’ve got yourself a delicious mimosa that’s just as good as its more traditional counterpart. If you’re craving a refreshing morning drink to soothe your Saturday hangover, this is the recipe for you!
This recipe is for a non-alcoholic mimosa recipe.
It’s as simple as it gets, and it can easily be made into an alcoholic mimosa by simply muddling up some fresh raspberries or blackberries before adding the champagne. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like bananas.
There are many benefits of this recipe and the most obvious is that it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. You can make mimosas without orange juice without worrying about any of that extra sugar clogging up your arteries.
The recipe also allows you to drink orange juice if you really want to, though I highly recommend reconsidering that habit if you’re trying to lose weight.
I’ve heard a lot of success stories about how drinking regular orange juice instead of the mimosa version has helped people drop pounds.
