Instructions
Day Before
If you want frozen fruit as ice cubes, plan ahead and have the fruit cut and in the freezer, in water if desired. Chill prosecco and juice.
Day of
Prepare your finger foods. The options given are all great choices, served either hot or at room temp. The options are endless, though!
Set Up
Place the juices in decorative pitchers, if desired. Place prosecco in buckets of ice, if desired. Arrange fruits and food items on boards or platters.
To make a Mimosa
We recommend a 2:1 ratio of wine to juice but your guests can make them sweeter or dryer according to their taste. Ingredient list allows for close to a 1:1 ratio, so you may want to have an extra bottle of Prosecco on hand.
Notes
Nutrition information is for one mimosa made with orange juice.
Prosecco vs. Champagne:Champagne is the traditional sparkling wine used in mimosas but a nice prosecco, a different variation of sparkling wine, is a great option when hosting an event with more people. It is cheaper but still has the same dry bubbly goodness that champagne has to offer.
Juice Notes: Any juice that you like will do. You can use a juice that is more tart, like grapefruit or cranberry but have a sweeter option available and always buy double the orange juice, since it is the most popular option.
Fruit Notes:Pick fruit that compliments your juices. They can be frozen and used as ice cubes in your mimosas or as a garnish.
Food Notes:When pairing food to go along with your mimosa bar, pick some salty options to cut through the sweetness of the juices and fruit. Keep things simple with finger food options.
