Print Recipe

A guide to setting up a sparkling mimosa bar with fresh fruits, juices, and bubbly for any celebration. Easy, fun, and customizable for guests.

Ingredients

  • Champagne or Sparkling Wine (Brut or extra dry)
  • Orange Juice (freshly squeezed or high-quality store-bought)
  • Cranberry juice
  • Pineapple juice
  • Pomegranate juice
  • Strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Blueberries
  • Pineapple chunks
  • Raspberries
  • Orange slices or twists
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Pomegranate seeds
  • Edible flowers (optional)
  • Simple syrup or honey (optional sweeteners)

Instructions

  1. Chill all beverages and glasses: Place champagne and juices in the fridge for at least 2 hours before your event (or overnight if possible). Chill glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes just before serving.
  2. Prep fruit garnishes: Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly. Hull and slice strawberries, slice oranges into thin rounds or twists, and cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Place each fruit variety in separate bowls or small platters for easy access. If using mint, rinse and gently pat dry.
  3. Set up the bar area: Arrange pitchers or dispensers with sparkling wine and different juices at one end of the table. Place glasses nearby, followed by bowls of fruit garnishes and herbs. Lay out spoons and tongs for guests to serve themselves.
  4. Create labels (optional): For a polished look, label each juice and garnish with small chalkboard signs, handwritten tags, or printed cards.
  5. Offer simple syrups or sweeteners: Place a small bowl or bottle of simple syrup or honey with a spoon or dropper for those who like their mimosa a bit sweeter.
  6. Prepare ice bucket or cooler: Fill with ice and place bottles of champagne or sparkling wine inside to keep chilled throughout the celebration.
  7. Add final touches: Add edible flowers or scatter extra fresh mint leaves on the table for a festive and inviting vibe. Light candles nearby to enhance ambiance if it’s an evening event.
  8. Invite guests to assemble their mimosas: Encourage them to start with a splash of juice, add sparkling wine slowly, and finish with a garnish or two. Remind them to sip slowly and savor the moment.

Notes

Chill all beverages and glasses well to keep drinks refreshing and bubbly. Pour sparkling wine slowly down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles. Pre-cut fruit evenly and keep fruit cold to maintain freshness. Prepare fruit the day before and store in airtight containers to save time. Use a champagne stopper to keep opened bottles bubbly. Offer a variety of juices and sweeteners to balance sweetness and tartness.
