Our Favorite Picks for Mother’s Day Mimosas – because Mom deserves it
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and whether you’re planning a big brunch, breakfast in bed, or just some quality time with the most important woman in your life, there’s one drink that always sets the tone: the mimosa.
Classic, bright, and effortlessly celebratory, mimosas are the ultimate “easy but fancy” drink. But not all mimosas are created equal — and let’s be real, Mom deserves the good stuff. So we rounded up our favorite bottles and add-ins to help you build a mimosa bar worthy of her greatness.
First: The Base – What Bubbly to Use
You don’t need to splurge on Champagne (save that for straight sipping). What you want is something dry, crisp, and refreshing — a bubbly that complements juice without overpowering it.
1. La Marca Prosecco
This one’s a crowd-pleaser. It’s crisp, lightly fruity, and has just the right amount of bubbles. Plus, it comes in the cutest blue label that just looks like Mother’s Day.
2. Chandon Brut
Made in California using traditional Champagne methods, Chandon Brut is classy without being over-the-top. It’s dry and elegant, with notes of apple and citrus that cut perfectly through orange juice or grapefruit. It brings a little sophistication to the table — just like Mom.
3. 90+ Cellars Prosecco
Bright, balanced, and ultra-versatile. This prosecco brings subtle pear and citrus flavors with a soft, fresh finish. It’s perfect for building a DIY mimosa bar because it pairs effortlessly with everything from orange to mango to blood orange juice. Plus, the price-to-quality ratio is one of the best on our shelves.
Next: The Juice – Think Beyond Orange
Yes, orange juice is the classic — but this is Mom’s day, so why not give her some fun options?
1. Fresh-Squeezed Orange Juice
Start with the OG. Fresh makes a huge difference. If you can swing it, go with cold-pressed or squeeze it yourself.
2. Pineapple Juice
Tropical, sweet, and bright. Pineapple juice with Prosecco is a game-changer. Bonus: it pairs beautifully with a splash of coconut water or a garnish of fresh mint.
3. Blood Orange or Grapefruit Juice
For the mom who likes a little bite, these juices bring bold color and a tart twist. They also pair well with a splash of elderflower liqueur or a little bit of lavender syrup for a floral vibe.
4. Mango Nectar or Peach Purée
More smoothie than juice? Go for it. Mango and peach add a rich, velvety texture and make your mimosa feel fancy. This turns your mimosa into a borderline Bellini — and that’s not a bad thing.
Fun Extras to Elevate the Mimosa Game-
Mimosas are simple, but a few small touches can make them feel special and celebratory.
Garnishes: Thin orange wheels, fresh berries, edible flowers, or a sprig of rosemary make it pop.
Sugar Rims: Rim the glass with citrus zest + sugar for sparkle and a little sweet kick.
Flavored Syrups: Add a splash of elderflower, rose, or lavender syrup for a subtle twist.
Fruit Ice Cubes: Freeze fresh fruit into ice cubes the night before — beautiful and functional.
Pro tip: Set out a few juices, 1–2 types of bubbly, and small bowls of fresh garnishes. Let everyone mix their own — it’s interactive, festive, and gives Mom time to relax while everyone else plays bartender.
At the end of the day, Mother’s Day mimosas aren’t just about the drink — they’re about slowing down, celebrating someone you love, and making the moment feel special. Whether she likes it classic, fruity, dry, or floral, we’ve got the bottles to make it perfect.
