I have served these fun, sparkling drinks at happy hour and even for dessert. There is just something about the bubbles that gets everyone into party mode! Plus, if you only have a bottle or two of Champagne, making mimosas will really stretch it further. And, since you’re mixing the Champagne with fruit juice, you can use a less expensive brand and it will still taste delicious.
What is the best Champagne to use for mimosas?
The best part about mimosas is you don’t actually have to waste an expensive bottle of Champagne making them. It’s better to use less expensive sparkling wine from Italy like Prosecco (try La Marca or Mionetto) or Cava from Spain to mix with your juice.
What juices do you use for a mimosa bar?
Now this is where you can really have fun. Mimosas don’t just have to involve OJ. If you’re setting up a mimosa bar at home, put out pitchers of grapefruit juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, lychee juice, mango juice, watermelon juice, peach nectar or pureé, blood orange juice or strawberry purée. Etsy even has cute Mimosa Bar Juice Tags you can use to easily label each kind.
How much juice do you put in a mimosa bar?
If you like your mimosas more on the juicy side, then add more juice. This also makes them less strong. You could use half Prosecco or Cava and half juice, or just a splash or two in the glass. As for setting up juices for a DIY mimosa bar, pitchers of juice are the way to go so everyone can pour as much juice as they like. Here are 14 of the best mimosa recipes, ranging from classic to creative. Whether you’re crafting these easy mimosas for the weekend, or any other time you see fit, they’ll definitely come in handy when you’re ready to raise a glass and enjoy a fizzy cocktail.
