easy 2-ingredient mimosa bar - featured image

A simple and beginner-friendly mimosa bar recipe using just sparkling wine and fruit juice, perfect for Mother’s Day brunch or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml bottle sparkling wine or champagne (dry or brut)
  • 3 cups (720 ml) fruit juice (orange juice recommended, or pineapple, cranberry, peach nectar)
  • Optional fresh fruit garnishes (orange slices, strawberries, raspberries)
  • Optional herbs (mint, basil)

Instructions

  1. Chill your sparkling wine or Prosecco in the fridge for at least 3 hours or in an ice bucket for 20-30 minutes until 45-50°F (7-10°C).
  2. Pour chosen juice(s) into pitchers or carafes and keep chilled in the fridge.
  3. Set up the mimosa bar with pitchers, chilled sparkling wine, glasses, and garnishes arranged on the table.
  4. Pour about ⅓ to ½ cup (80-120 ml) of juice into a flute, then top with sparkling wine using a ratio of roughly 1 part juice to 2 parts sparkling wine.
  5. Garnish each glass with a slice of orange, berries, or a sprig of herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep sparkling wine chilled until serving to preserve bubbles. Pour sparkling wine gently down the side of the glass to avoid foam overflow. Do not overfill glasses to prevent spills. Fresh juice offers brighter flavor but store-bought juice is fine. Leftover juice can be refrigerated up to 3 days; sparkling wine is best consumed within a few hours after opening.
