How much drink count does a Mimosa have?

A Mimosa typically has a drink count of 1.25. This count takes into account the combination of champagne and juice, generally orange juice, which contributes to the overall alcohol content of the drink. In many drinking guidelines, standard drink counts are based on the amount of pure alcohol in a beverage.

Mimosas often contain about 3-4 ounces of champagne mixed with juice, which still keeps the drink under the limits of the standard drink definition. Since the drink combines these two elements, the resulting drink count reflects the fact that it has slightly more alcohol than a standard single serving, hence the 1.25 drink count.

This drink count is particularly useful in establishments like Dave and Buster’s where responsible consumption is emphasized, and patrons are often informed about the alcohol content in their beverages. Being aware of the drink count helps consumers make more informed choices about their drinking.
