Orange Fizz Mocktail Recipe
This Orange Fizz Mocktail is a refreshing non-alcoholic spritz made with non-alcoholic orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and sparkling water that’s bright, citrusy, and absolutely delicious.
Orange Fizz Mocktail
If you love citrus-forward drinks, then this is the mocktail for you, and it is so refreshing. The non-alcoholic orange liqueur and fresh lime juice are the most incredible duo. The sparkling water lightens everything up and adds that perfect effervescence.
The orange peel garnish is optional, but it adds such a beautiful aromatic touch. I love the way it releases those bright citrus oils.
Orange Fizz Mocktail Ingredients
Fresh lime juice: Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. The acidity perfectly balances the sweetness of the orange liqueur.
Non-alcoholic orange liqueur: I used NOA Orange Liqueur. Feel free to replace it with another non-alcoholic orange liqueur – you may need to adjust the quantity based on the sweetness and orange intensity. Fresh orange juice mixed with a splash of simple syrup is a nice substitution if you don’t have a non-alcoholic orange liqueur on hand.
Sparkling water: Use chilled sparkling water, club soda, or seltzer. The bubbles are what make this drink so delightful!
Orange peel: A fresh orange peel twist smells and looks nice as a garnish.

How to Make an Orange Fizz Mocktail
Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the non-alcoholic orange liqueur and fresh lime juice. Stir well until the glass becomes frosty cold.
Top up with sparkling water and give it a gentle stir. Garnish with an orange peel twist and serve your orange fizz mocktail immediately.
Sipping Tips & FAQs
Chill your ingredients: Make sure the orange liqueur, lime juice, and sparkling water are well chilled before mixing – this will give you the freshest, most refreshing taste.
Express the orange peel: Before garnishing, twist the orange peel over the drink to release the essential oils. This adds an incredible aromatic layer to your mocktail!
Perfect garnish: Use a vegetable peeler to create a wide strip of orange peel, avoiding the white pith, which can be bitter.
Customize sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter mocktail, add a splash of simple syrup or agave nectar to taste.
Can I make this mocktail ahead of time?
It’s best to mix the drink just before serving to preserve the fizz from the sparkling water. You can prep the liqueur and lime juice blend in advance and add sparkling water right before serving.
Can I use bottled lime juice?
Fresh lime juice is always best for the brightest, most vibrant flavor. Bottled juice will work in a pinch, but the taste won’t be quite as fresh.
What if I don’t have non-alcoholic orange liqueur?
You can substitute with 2 oz of fresh orange juice plus ½ oz of simple syrup for a similar citrus-forward flavor profile.
