A simple and elegant mimosa bar setup perfect for Mother’s Day brunch, featuring fresh juices, sparkling wine, and customizable garnishes for a festive and stress-free celebration.

Ingredients

  • Sparkling Wine or Champagne (chilled) – Prosecco or Cava works great
  • Fresh Orange Juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
  • Other Fresh Juices (grapefruit, blood orange, pineapple, or pomegranate)
  • Berry Purees or Fresh Berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
  • Herbs for Garnish (fresh mint, basil, or thyme sprigs)
  • Citrus Slices (thin slices of orange, lemon, or lime)
  • Edible Flowers (optional)
  • Ice Cubes (regular or infused with herbs or berries)

Instructions

  1. Chill your sparkling wine and juices in the fridge at least 2 hours before the brunch.
  2. Prepare fresh juices by squeezing oranges or other citrus using a manual juicer; about 3-4 medium oranges yield 1 cup (240 ml) of juice.
  3. Set up your bar station by arranging pitchers of sparkling wine and juices side by side on a table or countertop in clear glass containers.
  4. Add garnishes by placing bowls of fresh berries, citrus slices, herbs, and optional edible flowers nearby.
  5. Prepare ice cubes and fill an ice bucket with regular or infused ice cubes to keep drinks cool without watering them down.
  6. Provide glassware such as champagne flutes or preferred glasses along with spoons or stir sticks for mixing.
  7. Place a small note or sign suggesting typical ratios—half sparkling wine, half juice—but encourage creativity.
  8. Maintain the bar throughout brunch by keeping sparkling wine cold and replenishing juices and garnishes as needed.

Notes

Chill all ingredients and glasses for best bubbles. Pour sparkling wine last to preserve fizz. Use fresh, cold juices for optimal flavor. Garnishes add aroma and visual appeal. Leftover sparkling wine can be stored up to 2 days with a stopper; fresh juices last 24 hours refrigerated.
