Q. Good morning Rabbi, what would the bracha be on a bagel that was made with fruit juice instead of water? Would it be considered mezonot? How about juice/almond milk in a 1 to 1 ratio?

A. Poskim mentiom that the amounts are not necessarily the deciding factor regarding the brocho to be made, rather what is the taste is predominant.

If for most people, the added fruit juices take over and override the resulting taste and the perception one feels is that it is a piece of cake, the brocho would be Mezonos. This applies regardless even if some water was also added.
