Mimosa Cost Calculator
A mimosa is usually equal parts sparkling wine and orange juice, so a 750 ml bottle gives about eight drinks at three ounces of wine each, and the bottle price drives the cost.
Bottomless brunch offers change the maths: cost the average number of drinks each guest really has, and include the flat bottles you pour away at the end of service.
Editable example: quantities are a typical standard spec and prices are plausible US wholesale estimates, not supplier quotes or current market data. Replace them with your own.
Example ingredient spec
Volumes are US fl oz; 750 ml = 25.36 oz and one liter = 33.8 oz. Garnish allowance: $0.00.
| Ingredient | Pack size (oz) | Pack price ($) | Used (oz) | Line cost ($) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| House sparkling wine (750 ml) | 25.36 | 10.00 | 3 | 1.18 |
| Orange juice (half gallon) | 64 | 5.00 | 3 | 0.23 |
Example menu price
Example cost per drink: $1.42. At 20% pour cost, the unrounded price is $7.09. Suggested price rounded up to the next $0.50: $7.50, giving 18.90% actual ingredient cost.
These example prices exclude labor, overhead and tax. The ingredient table and suggestion describe the starting spec; edit the calculator to cost your own version.
Formula
Line cost = bottle or pack price ÷ size × amount per drink; drink cost = sum of line costs + garnish. Pour cost % = drink cost ÷ menu price × 100; gross profit = menu price − drink cost; price at target = drink cost ÷ (target/100).
