How to Make Blueberry Thyme Mimosas (Alcohol-Free)
Step 1: Simmer the Thyme
Start by combining the fresh thyme and water in a small saucepan. Gently simmer for about 5 minutes—the magic happens here as the thyme’s aromatic oils infuse the water, creating a subtle but vibrant base for your mocktail. Your kitchen will smell absolutely divine!
Step 2: Cool the Thyme-Infused Water
Once the simmering is done, remove the pan from heat and let the thyme-infused water cool completely. Patience is key: this lets the flavors deepen and ensures your Blueberry Thyme Mimosas (Alcohol-Free) stay crisp and refreshing when served.
Step 3: Pour the Blueberry Base
Grab four large mimosa glasses and pour in the Bai Brasilia Blueberry Antioxidant Drink, filling each glass to just under halfway. This creates the lush, flavorful foundation that makes the whole drink sparkle with flavor.
Step 4: Add the Thyme Water
Divide the cooled thyme-infused water evenly among the glasses. Stirring gently blends the herbal aroma through each glass, giving every sip its signature twist.
Step 5: Top with Bubbles
Now for the fun part: top each glass with plain sparkling water. Pour slowly and watch as the bubbles dance with brilliant blueberry color. Suddenly, it looks as celebratory as it tastes!
Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy
Drop in a few fresh blueberries and a sprig of thyme for a beautiful finish. Take a moment to admire your Blueberry Thyme Mimosas (Alcohol-Free) before taking that first sip—cheers!

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Got extra Blueberry Thyme Mimosas (Alcohol-Free)? Simply stash the pre-mixed blueberry and thyme water (without the sparkling water) in an airtight jar in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to two days—just add new bubbles before serving for best results.
Freezing
While freezing keeps the infused base tasting wonderful, carbonated drinks don’t love the deep freeze. Instead, freeze the blueberry-thyme mixture in ice cube trays. Pop those flavor cubes into a glass, add sparkling water, and you have an instant chill and a quick mocktail, no fuss required.
Reheating
No reheating necessary for Blueberry Thyme Mimosas (Alcohol-Free)! Just bring your pre-mixed (and chilled) blueberry-thyme mixture out of the fridge, add cold sparkling water, and serve. If you want to refresh the thyme aroma, you can float a new sprig of thyme at serving time.

How can I scale this recipe for a party?
Simply multiply each ingredient by the number of guests you’re hosting, and combine the blueberry drink and thyme water in a big pitcher. Wait to add the sparkling water and garnishes until you’re about to serve so the bubbles stay lively.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prep the thyme infusion and blueberry base a day ahead and chill until party time. Just add the sparkling water and garnishes right before serving to keep Blueberry Thyme Mimosas (Alcohol-Free) fresh and fizzy.
