First up? The bubbly. The alcohol comes entirely from sparkling wine. Think Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, or any generic “sparkling” that’s under ten bucks. It doesn’t have to be the expensive stuff. In fact, please don’t use your vintage Dom Pérignon. Save that for a crisis.

Here’s the kicker: Champagne is technically only from France. But we’re at brunch. Rules are flexible. Most mimosas use Prosecco because it’s cheaper and sweeter. Which brings us to the alcohol percentage. Most sparkling wines clock in around 11–13% ABV. That’s standard wine territory. One glass? Fine. Three? You’re “brunch drunk.” And that’s a special kind of chaos.

The Co-Star: Orange Juice (But Not Just Any OJ)

Now, the other half. Orange juice. This is where the magic happens. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t contain alcohol. I know. Shocking. You thought the OJ had a secret kick? Nope. It’s just there to dilute the wine and make you feel virtuous about “having fruit.” Good job, you.

So, the alcohol is all in the bubbly. But wait—there’s a catch. The more OJ you use, the lower the overall alcohol content. A standard ratio is one part OJ to one part sparkling wine. That gives you a drink that’s roughly 5–7% ABV overall. That’s about as strong as a light beer. But it feels fancier, right? Because it’s in a flute. Psychology is wild.
