A simple and festive mimosa bar setup featuring five easy and flavorful combinations using champagne and a variety of fresh juices and garnishes. Perfect for brunches, gatherings, or casual celebrations.

Ingredients

  • Brut Champagne or Prosecco (750 ml bottle)
  • Chilled sparkling water or club soda (optional, for lighter mimosas)
  • Freshly squeezed orange juice (about 2 cups / 16 fl oz)
  • Blood orange juice (optional, 1 cup / 8 fl oz)
  • Peach nectar (1 cup / 8 fl oz)
  • Cranberry juice cocktail (1 cup / 8 fl oz)
  • Pineapple juice (1 cup / 8 fl oz)
  • Elderflower liqueur (1/4 cup / 2 fl oz, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves or edible flowers (for garnish)
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
  • Thin orange or lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Chill the champagne or sparkling wine and all juices in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  2. If using fresh oranges, juice about 4 to 5 medium-sized oranges to get 2 cups (16 fl oz) of orange juice. Strain if desired to remove pulp.
  3. Arrange the champagne, juices, elderflower liqueur, and garnishes on a table or countertop using pitchers or clear glasses for the juices.
  4. Wash berries and mint leaves. Slice oranges or lemons thinly for garnish and place these in small bowls or plates with tongs or spoons nearby.
  5. Pre-mix juices with elderflower liqueur or sparkling water if using, for each mimosa flavor combo.
  6. To build a mimosa, fill the glass halfway with your preferred juice mix (about 4 oz / 120 ml), then top with champagne (about 4 oz / 120 ml). Garnish as desired.
  7. Encourage guests to experiment with combinations but remind them to pour champagne last to preserve the bubbles.

Notes

Chill all ingredients well before serving to keep bubbles lively. Pour champagne last to preserve fizz. Avoid stirring after pouring to prevent flattening. Freshly squeezed juices brighten flavor. Pre-mix juices with elderflower or sparkling water for flavor combos but add champagne just before serving.
