Measure out 1/4 cup of orange juice and pour into a champagne flute. Orange juice is the centerpiece of the non-alcoholic Mimosa. The classic Mimosa uses fresh-squeezed orange juice, but you can also use store bought juice.

2
Add 1/4 cup of ginger ale or sparkling cider to the champagne flute. If you prefer soda, use a clear soda instead of the ginger ale or cider. Dark colas can be used, but these make the drink look muddy.
