POG Juice Mimosas bring together the best of two worlds—tropical flavors and classic brunch comfort. And for me, this bright, bubbly cocktail is more than just a drink. It’s a memory, a feeling, and a connection to where my love of cooking truly began.

I’m Aleena Rogowski, and my journey with food started in a quiet, tree-lined town in upstate New York. Life was simple, and the most joyful moments were often found in my aunt’s kitchen just a few doors down. She had this way of making every meal feel like a celebration—especially on weekends, when brunch was more than just eggs and toast. It was family, stories, and the scent of something warm and wonderful drifting through the house.

I remember one summer morning, she handed me a tall glass filled with something I’d never seen before—sunny orange, with a hint of pink and gold. “Tastes like Hawaii,” she smiled. That was my first taste of POG juice—a magical blend of passion fruit, orange, and guava. Even then, I knew it was something special.

Years later, living in my tiny New York apartment and hosting weekend brunches for friends, I brought that memory back in the form of POG Juice Mimosas. With just a few simple ingredients and a bottle of bubbly, I could transport us all to a tropical daydream—no boarding pass required. Everyone loved the flavor, but what made them unforgettable was how effortlessly these POG Juice Mimosas turned a regular morning into a mini vacation.

Now, at 31, these mimosas have become a signature for me. They’re refreshing, vibrant, and so easy to make—perfect for baby showers, bridal brunches, or lazy Sundays with friends. Whether I’m making one glass or filling a pitcher, POG Juice Mimosas are always a hit. They’re more than just a cocktail—they’re my favorite way to bring a little sunshine to the table.

So grab your favorite flute and let’s mix up something magical. In the next section, we’ll dive into why POG juice is such a fan-favorite—and what makes it the perfect base for your next mimosa.

What Is POG Juice? The Star of Every Mimosa

A Tropical Blend That’s Pure Sunshine

At the heart of every unforgettable POG Juice Mimosa is the iconic drink itself: POG juice. The name stands for Passion fruit, Orange, and Guava—a tropical trio that’s sweet, tangy, and impossibly refreshing. This fruit blend originated in Hawaii in the 1970s and quickly became a staple in local households, hotels, and island breakfasts.

The original flavor profile is bright and juicy, with the tang of passion fruit, the citrusy familiarity of orange juice, and the subtle sweetness of guava. It’s sunshine in a glass—and when you pair it with bubbly? You’ve got an instant vacation. That’s the beauty of POG Juice Mimosas—they transform simple ingredients into a bold, tropical celebration in every sip.

What Is Disney’s POG Juice?

If you’ve ever visited Disney World or had breakfast at resorts like Ohana or Tusker House, you may have sipped their version of POG juice, also affectionately called Jungle Juice or Liliko’i Juice. It’s made with the same trio—passion fruit, orange, and guava—and served as a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage at character breakfasts and tropical-themed restaurants.

That’s what makes POG Juice Mimosas such a hit with Disney fans. The recipe captures the spirit of those magical mornings, but with a splash of champagne for a grown-up brunch vibe.

What Brand of POG Juice Does Disney Use?

Disney often uses the Ceres brand for passion fruit and guava nectars, blended with fresh-squeezed or premium bottled orange juice. You can recreate the same flavor at home by mixing your own or purchasing pre-mixed POG juice online or at specialty grocery stores. That means you can make POG Juice Mimosas anytime you need a mini getaway—no Disney reservation required.

✅ Pro Tip: Look for POG juice in the refrigerated juice aisle or buy each nectar separately to mix your own blend.

Can You Buy POG on the Mainland?

Absolutely! While it’s most common in Hawaii, you can find POG juice or its components at stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and many online retailers. Even better? It’s super easy to DIY with individual juices.

If you’re planning a brunch, beach-themed party, or just want a splash of sunshine in your glass, POG Juice Mimosas are easy to batch and even easier to enjoy.

PART 2: Why POG Juice Mimosas Are the Ultimate Brunch Drink

The Magic of the Flavor Blend

POG Juice Mimosas stand out from your average brunch beverage because of their layered tropical flavor. The fusion of passion fruit, orange, and guava creates a flavor profile that’s sweet, tart, and just a little exotic. Add a dry or semi-sweet sparkling wine, and you get a bubbly, refreshing mimosa with a beachy twist.

Each sip is vibrant and juicy—perfect for pairing with anything from fruit platters and French toast to savory brunch casseroles. It’s a lighter option than heavy cream-based cocktails and more exciting than plain OJ and champagne.

The Best Bubbly for POG Juice Mimosas

While traditional mimosas are made with orange juice and champagne, POG Juice Mimosas play well with a variety of sparkling wines. You don’t need to splurge on high-end bottles to get great results.

Here are your best bubbly pairings:

Type of Sparkling Wine	Flavor Profile	Why It Works
Prosecco	Light, fruity, semi-sweet	Enhances guava and passion fruit notes
Brut Champagne	Dry and crisp	Balances the sweetness of the juice blend
Sparkling Rosé	Fruity with berry notes	Adds color and extra complexity
Cava	Clean, citrusy	A budget-friendly, well-rounded option

✅ Pro Tip: Always chill your bubbly and juice first—cold mimosas taste fresher and fizzier.

Making It a Crowd Favorite

The best part about POG Juice Mimosas? They’re super easy to scale for a crowd. You can pre-mix the juice blend in a large pitcher and pour the bubbly just before serving, so it stays nice and effervescent.

Garnish with:

• Orange slices
• Pineapple wedges
• Edible flowers for a tropical brunch look

They’re a hit at bridal showers, holiday brunches, pool parties, and even casual Sunday mornings when you just want to pretend you’re on island time.
