With New Year's just around the corner it's always a party around my house. And with all of that, I wanted to be sure to get some fun lighter takes on my favorite sparkling treats and eats that could also be family friendly! One of our family traditions is to go pajama bowling on New Year's day, and this year is no different. Almost everyone is piling up at my house on New Year's Eve and I'm planning on making up some yummy breakfast enchiladas and these lovely mimosaritas to go along with them for New Year's day brunch!
Since I always like to involve my little girl in everything, and not everyone cares for alcoholic beverages, I decided to be sure and have a mocktail of this cocktail ready to go for her and anyone else that might want the same. This way, everyone can be a part of the fun and no one is left out in any way.
To create these mixed berry mimosaritas, I was sure to use DASANI sparkling water. It's the perfect mixer because it has ZERO calories, no added colors, is caffeine-free and naturally flavored. Plus, as I've found out, it makes for the perfect mocktail version when substituting out any alcohol!
The little bit of orange juice in here makes this a perfect light brunch drink that's sure to add sparkle to your holidays as they come to an end for the year.
In lou of the alcohol, I used the lime flavor of DASANI sparkling water for the mocktail variation, and it turned out great. And of course, I had to get some actual mixed berries in there for garnish and color. Plus, it helps to keep your drink nice and cold.
I sugared my rim with no calorie natural sweetener instead of sugar, but it's entirely unneeded; just for looks! If you do decide to go for the cocktail version, you will probably want to pour this drink over some ice cubes, just as you would a traditional margarita.
