Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the fruit purees

Blend the strawberries (and raspberries, if using) separately with a splash of juice until smooth. Pour each puree into small serving bowls with spoons.

Step 2: Set up your bar

Arrange fruit purees, juices, and sliced fruits in individual bowls or carafes. Place mint leaves and lemon slices in small dishes for garnishes.

Step 3: Chill the bubbly

Keep sparkling wine and sparkling water on ice or in a refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 4: Rim the glasses (optional)

Moisten the rims of champagne flutes, then dip in sugar for a festive touch.

Step 5: Assemble

Let guests layer a spoonful of fruit puree into a glass, top with fruit juice of their choice, then fill with sparkling wine or sparkling water. Garnish with fresh fruit or mint.

Step 6: Encourage creativity

Display a menu board with suggested combinations, such as Strawberry-Pineapple Mimosa or Orange-Mint Fizz.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To keep the drinks cold without diluting them, use frozen berries as ice cubes. Ensure all your carafes and glasses are pre-chilled, and keep the sparkling wine in an ice bucket throughout the event to maintain those perfect bubbles.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a non-alcoholic brunch, provide extra sparkling water or alcohol-free sparkling wine. You can also expand your bar by adding other fruits like mango, blueberries, or blood orange segments to offer even more flavor combinations.

Serviervorschläge

Pair this refreshing mimosa bar with light brunch bites such as buttery croissants, a savory quiche, or a fresh seasonal fruit salad to create a balanced and elegant meal for your guests.
