What do you serve at a Mimosa Bar?
Mimosa bars are a great way to set up for a large group event. They are often more casual and provide the opportunity for your guests to build their own drink and garnish it to suite their preferences. For a mimosa bar it’s best to have options of at least 4 different juices and an array of garnishes for your guests to choose from.
- Set out the chilled juices in carafes.
- Keep the sparkling white prosecco wine or champagne chilled in an ice bucket.
- Place the glasses at the front of the table.
- Garnishes and add-ins should be provided in separate bowls with spoons, picks or tongs provided.
What garnishes or add-ins should be at a Mimosa Bar?
For large groups rimming the glasses can be done ahead and set in the fridge or on your counter to keep things simple and mess free for your guests. It’s a great idea to have both rimmed and non-rimmed glasses available for your guests to choose.
If the cinnamon sugar rim is omitted you may miss that bit of cinnamon flavor this mimosa recipe is named for. So serve it with a cinnamon stick inside the glass instead. Garnishes provide a scrumptious, visually attractive and fun way for your friends and family to personalize their drink even further. We are listing some of our favorite mimosa garnish and add-in ideas below.
- Selections of fresh berries
- Sliced fruit wedges such as apples or pears
- Orange, lemon or lime wedges
- Sprigs of rosemary, mint or basil
- Sugared cranberries
- Maraschino cherries
- Grapefruit or pineapple slices
- Sherbet for mimosa floats
- Cinnamon sticks
What glasses work best for Mimosas?
For mimosas and other champagne cocktails choose tall narrow glasses like champagne flutes. Stemless flutes are great for less formal events and more durable, but they do sweat and can be challenging for your guests to hold.
If a champagne flute is not to be found a stemmed wine glass is the next best choice. Stay clear of the short round whisky and scotch glasses. A narrow, high tom collins glass will also work in a pinch.
How much champagne is needed for Mimosas?
So, how many mimosas can you make out a 750 ml bottle of bubbly? You’ll get around 8 mimosas if you are using 9 oz flutes, and If the proportions are roughly 1/3 juice to 2/3 sparkling wine.
Champagne flutes come in various sizes so this can vary, as well if your guests are serving themselves. A good rule of thumb to go with is one 750ml bottle of champagne for every 3 guests. This will allow for a variety of juice to bubbly ratios without the risk of running out.
What kind of Champagne is best for Mimosas?
Brut champagnes or dry sparkling white wines are best for mimosas. Mimosas are usually very sweet given the ratio of juice, so you don’t want to use a sweet champagne or sparkling wine and overpower the drink.
Chill Everything
- Chilled glasses are optimal for mimosas but not always possible depending on your setting.
- Set your bubbly in the fridge an hour or so before serving.
- Make sure the juice is chilled for a refreshing drink.

Making a Mimosa
Mimosas are beautiful champagne cocktails that can be customized to suite your preferences. Simple and basic, or fancy and unique; it’s all up to you.
If you have an over spill try pouring in the bubbly first. Slant the glass a bit to help the champagne slide down the sides without creating bubbles. Next, pour in the juice nice and gentle. Finish with garnishes if you choose.
- Pour the champagne slowly and carefully into your glass.
- Make sure you leave headroom for the bubbles.
- Serve it soon after it’s made for the best chilled refreshing cocktail.
