As far as I'm concerned, Mimosa's are one of the best cocktails ever invented because what other cocktail can you drink at breakfast or brunch without anyone batting an eyelash?! Especially on Mother's Day?
But what if you can't drink alcohol? Or don't want to drink? OR you simply want your kids to enjoy a special and delicious drink at a celebratory breakfast or brunch? That's where this Raspberry Mimosa Mocktail comes in...It's the ideal brunch mocktail! It's also a great drink for baby showers, a holiday brunch, and other special occasions.

🥘 Ingredients
This Mimosa uses simple ingredients, has no alcohol but is loaded with flavor! Most of the nonalcoholic Mimosa recipes I've come across don't have the depth of flavor that this one has. The combination of white grape juice and sparkling water perfectly mimics the Prosecco/sparkling wine in a classic Mimosa cocktail.
And the hint of raspberry and raspberry ice cubes give it that extra something special! I love using frozen fruit for ice cubes; it's so much better than boring old ice cubes. You can either buy fresh raspberries and freeze them (as I did ) or simply use frozen raspberries!
All you need for this tasty drink recipe is:
- white grape juice
- orange juice
- lemon lime sparkling water
- raspberry extract or raspberry flavoring
- orange slice
- frozen raspberries
I have created a number of other fun mocktail recipes (see bottom of post, under recipe card for more mocktail recipes) because everyone should be able to have fun and celebratory drinks without alcohol, if they so choose!
I remember having a toddler AND being pregnant on Mother's Day, so this drink would have been a very welcome addition to the Mother's Day brunch menu that year!
But the main reason I make these mocktails is because my kids LOVE them! Oh what I would have given to have had these fancy drinks when I was a kid....I counted myself pretty lucky to even get Pic-a-Pop! Now I can live vicariously through them. And this recipe is kid-tested and approved, of course.
🥗 Pairing
If you're looking for non-alcoholic drinks for brunch or raspberry mocktails, this is ideal! This also makes the perfect Mother's Day drink because kids can easily make this non-alcoholic drink for their Mom and serve it with an easy breakfast they can make themselves, like this Bagel Toad in a Hole!
These are my other favorite dishes to serve with this recipe:
📖 Variations
- Alcohol - And although I love Mimosa cocktails, some mornings it just feels a bit too early for alcohol. But that just depends on the day. So if you're like me and happen to be having a day where you would appreciate the alcohol in this Mimosa, then simply replace the grape juice and sparkling water with Prosecco or sparkling wine (my fave sparkling wine is Casal Garcia.) But whatever route you choose to go, with or without alcohol, this Raspberry Mimosa Mocktail is a full- bodied, delicious, and refreshing drink.
- Orange juice - you can use orange juice from concentrate, juice boxes or fresh orange juice
- Lemon-lime sparkling water - you can substitute lemon-lime soda, but it will be sweeter

I created this Raspberry Mimosa Mocktail for those times when you want something special at brunch without the alcohol. It's perfect for Mother's Day, baby showers, or anytime you want to feel festive at breakfast. The white grape juice and sparkling water combo really captures that classic mimosa taste, and the raspberry ice cubes add a fun twist. Kids and non-drinkers can join in the celebration with this delicious drink!

Hi can I make this without grape juice
Terri Gilson
Hi Niya,
You could, but it won't taste the same. I would at least replace the grape juice with apple juice (but add a little more) so it will taste similar.
Happy Holidays!

Can I make a pitcher of this
Terri Gilson
Of course! This makes about 20 oz . But you can double, triple or quadruple recipe, depending on how big your pitcher is. Just click on the servings (in blue) on the recipe card, select how many you want and the ingredient amounts will adjust accordingly.
Enjoy!
