With February and Spring coming up, there are so many occasions to celebrate... Valentine's Day, baby showers, bridal showers, wedding days, Mother's Day, and any fun birthdays you might be celebrating. A Mimosa Bar is such a pretty and simple addition to any brunch or celebration!
What You Need:
-Champagne or...sparking wine, sparking juice, pretty much anything that will bubble ;)
-Juices
-Fruit for garnish
-Bowls or dishes for fruit
-Champagne flutes
-Sugar + food coloring for rim of flute (optional)
-Pitchers (target has cute one's in the Dollar Section (of course))
-
Sign and labels
-Scissors or 2-2.5" hole punch
-String
To rim the champagne flutes with sugar:
-Fill a dish with sugar
-Add a drop or two of food coloring, depending on how dark you want your color
-Mix it up well so there aren't any clumps
(You could also just use raw sugar on it's own for a pretty look)
-Run an orange slice around the rim of the glass OR just dip the rim in a small puddle of water
-Dip the rim of the glass into sugar and twist the glass a little to make sure it's evenly coated
Once you've sugared the champagne flutes:
-Set out flutes, champagne, bowls filled with sliced fruit
-Fill pitchers with desired juice
-Cut out labels either with scissors or hole punch
-Use string (I used baker's twine) to tie label to it's juice
-Frame or hang the directions
-Let your guests make their own personalized mimosa!
In honor of Valentine's Day, I chose juices and fruit that match "valentine colors." I used orange, grapefruit, peach, and cranberry juice. Orange juice will definitely be the fan-favorite, so I would get extra orange juice. For garnish, I used raspberries, strawberries, and pomegranates. For my mimosa, I combined orange + grapefruit juice and garnished with raspberries + strawberries.
