Happy Friday, foodie friends! I’m closing out brunch week with another drink recipe!
Welcome to the third annual #BrunchWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Shaina from Take A Bite Out Of Boca. We are so excited to have you join us this year! Celebrate Brunch with us this week as we prepare for Mother’s Day. 30 Bloggers from around the country will showcase their best brunch dishes, from cocktails to casseroles, breakfast breads, sandwiches and salads – there is something for everyone!
This one’s every bit as easy to throw together as the last one, and every bit as fun, fancy, and delish, but without any of the alcohol. That’s right! It’s a mocktail! Virgin! Non-alcoholic!
So, if maybe you’ve got a bun in the oven this Mother’s Day? Or you want to be able to serve something special to the kiddos at your brunch? Or maybe you’re just not down with getting plastered at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. I got you.
Sweet and seasonal strawberries are muddled with a little sugar, orange blossom water adds a unique, slightly floral essence, and the whole thing is topped off with fizzy water.
You’re going to LOVE how refreshing this drink is. And it’s just sweet enough. Not syrupy, just bubbly, light, and perfect for spring.

Allie, what a beautiful strawberry orange blossom sparkler drink!!! perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch!!! Wishing you the best Mother’s Day ever!!!! love you, sister!!
Love you too and I hope yours is wonderful! Get pampered! xoxo <3
Could these drinks get any more freakin’ gorgeous?! I am seriously in love with the color and all the awesome springtime flavors you packed inside. Mocktails for the WIN! These are so gonna have to happen this weekend. 😉
Haha thanks Sarah! I’m all for a good cocktail but sometimes you just want to chill and go mock, right? Thanks so much hon!
Looks and sounds delish! I’m a fan of sparkling anything for spring & summer.
Same here! It’s just so refreshing and fun! Thanks so much 😀
Allie, this is seriously so lovely, I think this might really be my fave of the week. So beautiful and refreshing!
Aw thank you so much my dear! xoxo
I make a super custardy quiche with goat cheese and tons of fresh herbs. The secret ingredient is brushing Champagne Mustard on the cooked and cooled crust before adding the filling and baking again. It’s wonderful! I love to Brunch with my friends Vanita and Gayle. They bring happy attitudes and colorful stories!
Oh my gosh that sounds amazing! Anything with goat cheese is so up my alley and that champagne mustard trick is so clever! I hope you have a great one, Meg! Thanks so much!
I seriously think that Brunch is my family’s most favorite thing EVER! We have to have an egg bake, muffins and mimosas 😉
I’m there! Lol… Sounds fabulous I hope you have a great one. Thanks so much!
Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for the lovely recipe. We will be trying this one.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy <3
These sparkles are just gorgeous! Love them!!! And the pictures are beautiful! Happy Mother’s Day Allie!

Oooohhh, this looks SO refreshing! Man, I think we should all take a four day weekend this weekend and drink these non stop 🙂
I’m in! Thanks so much Amy and happy Mother’s Day to you mama! <3

This is so beautiful, Allie! I love how refreshing it sounds! Perfect for Mother’s Day! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and get spoiled! xo

Allie, this looks just wonderful! I love the hint of orange blossom water.
I loved it too! It really made the drink special. Thanks so much Marissa and I hope you have a lovely weekend 🙂
This couldn’t be more perfect! My parents are driving up from FL for a visit (they just called and said they’d be here in an hour). And I have all of the ingredients on hand! I’m so making this for them when they get in! I’m sure they’ll love this after a long drive.
Oh I love that! I’m so happy to know that you’ll be making this for your mom and dad. If I’d been on a long car journey I think I’d be so happy to have one of these! Hope they enjoy and thanks for this comment Kathleen 🙂
This sounds just perfect.
Thanks Wendy!
Absolutely stunning!! Just love how the light pictures portray the bubbling and refreshing nature of this drink. You know I am in a mocktail state of being so this will be enjoyed happily!!
Yay! I kinda had you in mind when I was posting this 😉 Thanks dear!
This looks amazing Allie! Such a beautiful drink! Just the kind I need when it warms up to deck-sitting temperatures again 🙂
Thank you so much Ashley! This is perfect for deck-sitting 😉
This is definitely my kind of summer (or any time!) drink, Allie. I don’t always feel like alcohol, but want something that still tastes a little special. This fits the bill pefectly!
Oh that’s great! I totally agree, sometimes you just want a refreshment that’s a little bit different. I loved this and I hope you do too!
An alternative to getting plastered at 10:30 in the morning, I love it! 🙂 Also loved your “about me” video, just watched it.
Oh thanks! I’m blushing, lol. I know it’s a little corny. I made it for a potential client and showed it to some friends, and they convinced me I should put it on my blog. Eep!
So pretty!! I love anything bubbly. 🙂
Same here! Thanks so much dear!
Allie, this is so pretty and sounds delicious! I don’t have a bun in the oven, but since I don’t drink alcohol, it’s so up my alley! My kids will also love this 🙂
Yay! Thanks Aida! I don’t always want alcohol either. I made another batch of these yesterday afternoon and served them to my mom and kids. It was a perfect pick-me-up on a hot day 🙂
How pretty is this drink?
Thank you! I thought so too and it was so refreshing as well 🙂
Such a gorgeous sparkling beverage! My husband and I aren’t huge “drinkers” so this is perfect. I can’t wait to check out some more of your BrunchWeek recipes! 🙂 Hope you had a fabulous Mother’s Day!
Hope you did too Meggan! Thanks so much and I’m so happy you like this! 🙂
What a great recipe! I love all the flavors happening in this stunning spring beverage. By the way, I just watched your “about” video. You did a great job! Love your kitchen.
Aw thank you! I am a little embarrassed by the video! Some friends twisted my arm into doing it, lol!
Love this recipe and would love to make it on a bigger scale for New Year’s Eve. I’d love to put this out for any non-drinkers. Any idea how make this so I can serve it in a beverage dispenser or a punch bowl? Thanks!!
Sounds like a great idea, Michelle! I would just leave out the ice so it doesn’t get too watery. Maybe keep an ice bucket/tongs next to the punch bowl, so your guests can ice their own drinks & serve themselves. Hope that’s helpful! Happy New Year!
