1. Too sweet for me. I like it with seltzer instead of the Sprite.

11. Although more of a Nonmosa than a Mimosa...
Still, live has some dangerous curves when real Mimosas are involved...

13. Nonmosa doesn't sound so good, though. How about "Mimicmosa?"

15. yup, try some seltzer, even flavored seltzer instead of the Sprite..
I agree with GPV - Sprite makes it too sweet.

Though Sprite plus grapefruit juice might be nice? A little sweet and tart mixed in? I actually like ginger ale with grapefruit juice. Wish ginger ale had real ginger, though.

4. Hangar One Buddha's Hand vodka
with fresh-squeezed orange juice. Optional: a bit of fizz (7-Up or similar) just enough to top off.

Lemonade instead of oj will do the trick as well. :)

:toast:

5. Adding orange juice kind of defeats the purpose of "diet" Sprite
what with all those natural sugars involved ;)

Bucks Fizz.

Nice in small quantities for me.
