Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–2 bottles chilled Champagne or sparkling wine (Brut or dry Prosecco, 750 mL each)
  • 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 cup peach nectar
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 1 cup mango juice
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 oranges, sliced into wheels
  • 1/2 pineapple, cut into spears
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 2 peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • Edible flowers (optional)
  • Fine sugar for glass rims (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill all beverages overnight or at least 3 hours before serving. Ensure champagne/sparkling wine and juices are cold.
  2. Wash all fruit thoroughly, pat dry, and slice as needed: strawberries (remove stems, slice lengthwise), oranges (thin wheels or half-moons), kiwis (peel and slice), pineapple (spears or wedges, remove core), raspberries and blueberries (leave whole), peaches (slice thinly).
  3. Set up your mimosa bar: arrange carafes of each juice, bowls of fruit garnishes, mint leaves, and edible flowers. Place champagne or sparkling wine in an ice bucket.
  4. Prepare glasses: set out champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses. For sugar rims, run a wedge of citrus around the rim and dip in fine sugar, then let dry.
  5. Mix your mimosa: fill each glass 1/2 to 2/3 full with sparkling wine (about 3 oz), then top with 1 to 2 oz juice of choice. Gently stir.
  6. Add fruit garnish: let guests add their favorite garnishes—berries, citrus wheels, pineapple, mint, or edible flowers.
  7. Serve immediately and encourage guests to mix and match juices and garnishes. For non-alcoholic options, offer sparkling water or ginger ale.

Notes

Prep fruit up to 4 hours ahead and keep covered in the fridge. Use frozen fruit for garnishes to keep drinks cold. Offer at least 2–3 juice options and 3–5 fruit garnishes for variety. For non-alcoholic mimosas, use sparkling cider or club soda. Always chill beverages well before serving.
