The mimosa is the morning cocktail par excellence: a simple gesture, a flute, and the sense that the day has started well. At Maison Giulia we rebuilt it without alcohol, not as a substitute, but as a drink in its own right.
What is an alcohol-free mimosa?
An alcohol-free mimosa is a mimosa made without champagne or sparkling wine, at 0.0% alcohol. The classic is roughly equal parts sparkling wine and orange juice. The alcohol-free version keeps the citrus and the bubbles and removes the alcohol entirely. Ours arrive ready in the bottle, so there is nothing to mix.
Made in the bottle, not mixed in the glass
Most alcohol-free mimosas are assembled at home: a 0.0% sparkling topped with juice from a carton. It works, but it tends towards sweetness, and the bubble collapses within minutes.
We build ours as a single cuvée in the South of France. Fruit and base are blended and bottled together, which is why the bead stays fine and the finish stays dry. Natural ingredients, no added sugar, 0.0% alcohol. No compromise, and no lesser glass.
Orange de Sicile or Raspberry
The Orange de Sicile carries the bright bitterness of citrus picked on the island, the closest in spirit to the mimosa you already know. The Raspberry brings a clean acidity and a nose of fresh red fruit, a little more unexpected on a brunch table. The Twins Pack brings both cuvées together, for those who cannot choose, or who are hosting.
How to serve an alcohol-free mimosa
Serve it very cold, straight from the fridge, in a flute or a white wine glass. Open at the table, pour slowly to preserve the bubble, and drink within the hour. A twist of orange zest is welcome. Sugar is not.
At brunch, at the apéritif, at a wedding toast, or at any table where somebody is not drinking and should still be handed a proper glass.
Questions
Is it really 0.0% alcohol?
Yes. Both mimosas are 0.0% alcohol by volume.
Is there added sugar?
No. There is no added sugar in either cuvée. The sweetness comes from the fruit.
How is this different from mixing juice with an alcohol-free sparkling?
Ours is blended and bottled as one cuvée in the South of France rather than assembled in the glass. That keeps the bubble finer and the finish drier, and it means there is nothing to prepare.
How should an alcohol-free mimosa be served?
Very cold, straight from the fridge, in a flute or a white wine glass. Pour slowly and serve within the hour.
Where is it made?
In the South of France, by Maison Giulia, a maison based in Grasse on the Côte d'Azur.
