Can I make a Mock Mimosa ahead of time?

It's best to assemble Mock Mimosas just before serving to keep the drink fizzy and fresh. However, you can pre-chill the orange juice and ginger ale, and even pour the juice into glasses beforehand. Just add the bubbly element when it's time to serve.

What’s the best ratio for a Mock Mimosa?

Traditionally, mimosas use a 3:1 ratio of bubbly to juice. For mock mimosas, many people prefer a 1:1 balance for a stronger citrus flavor. Start with equal parts and adjust to taste — there's no wrong answer!

Is this Mock Mimosa safe for pregnant women?

Yes, since it contains no alcohol, this Mock Mimosa is generally safe for pregnant women. However, due to its sugar content, those with gestational diabetes or other dietary concerns should consult with a healthcare provider before indulging.
