Inviting alcohol to a Mother’s Day brunch may accidentally alienate the guests of honor: moms. Whether pregnant or breastfeeding or simply just living life sober, there are a lot of reasons why a mom may be forgoing alcohol. But shouldn’t Mom get to enjoy every part of a Mother’s Day brunch thrown in her honor?
These non-alcoholic drinks for Mother’s Day ensure that all moms can partake in every part of celebrating their day.
4 Non-Alcoholic Drinks for Mother’s Day
Alcohol-Free Mimosa
Mimosas are always a crowd pleaser, and they’re great for a Mother’s Day brunch because they’re so easy to make. A simple alcohol-free mimosa is generally a 1-to-1 ratio of orange juice and alcohol-free sparkling wine, like BEAU VIVA.
However, you can also make these mimosas a little more exciting by setting up an alcohol-free mimosa bar for your guests. Make sure that all your guests have their own champagne flute, and then set up a space where you can put out bottles of alcohol-free sparkling wine, as well as different types of juices.
One of the biggest crowd pleasers? Try setting out juices for your guests to make a POG Juice Mimosa, made with passionfruit nectar, orange juice, and guava juice. It’s easily a hit Mother’s Day brunch drink. You can also set out garnishes, like orange slices and edible flowers.
Non-Alcoholic Aperol Spritz
Another crowd pleaser is the non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz, like this one from the Mindful Mocktail. For this drink, you’ll need one ounce of soda water, two ounces of a non-alcoholic Aperol replacement, and three ounces of non-alcoholic sparkling wine, like BEAU VIVA.
Simply fill a glass with ice, pour in your ingredients, and stir. Garnish with flowers and orange wheels to make this simple Mother’s Day brunch drink a little fancier.
Sparkling Cranberry Mocktail
For something both a little sweet and a little tart, this Sparkling Cranberry Mocktail by Chelsea Dishes is a perfect fit. Plus, it’s super easy to make and easy to customize, making it a great Mother’s Day brunch idea for those looking for a drink that can be made in a variety of ways.
First, you’ll need to make simple syrup, which takes just a little time and not many ingredients. Add a cup of water and a cup of sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved, and let it cool before adding it to your drink.
Now, you’re ready to make your drink! Add two ounces of cranberry juice, a quarter of an ounce of simple syrup, and a squeeze of lime juice to a tall glass. Then, fill the glass with crushed ice and top with sparkling water. For another, more cocktail-like option, swap out the sparkling water for non-alcoholic sparkling wine this Mother’s Day, or mix and match with half sparkling water and half non-alcoholic sparkling wine, like BEAU VIVA.
Lemon Basil Spritzer
A Lemon Basil Spritzer is a perfect non-alcoholic Mother’s Day brunch drink for those looking for something more savory and less sweet. Courtesy of the Organic Kitchen, this recipe takes a couple of extra steps, but it’s so worth it.
For this recipe, you’re also going to start by making simple syrup, which you can make the same way as the previous recipe: one cup of sugar and one cup of water stirred over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and then left to cool.
Once that’s ready, you’ll place a few basil leaves and two lemon wedges into the bottom of a glass and muddle them together, crushing the lemon and the basil altogether. Then, add two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and two tablespoons of your simple syrup and continue muddling. Top it off with three-quarters of a cup of sparkling water, or switch it up and add non-alcoholic sparkling wine to your Mother’s Day brunch drink.

Now that you have your drinks ready to go, here are a few other brunch ideas to help you host a non-alcoholic Mother’s Day celebration:
