How to Make a
Mimosa
Bar that Brings Your Event to the Next Level from The Zola Team
Getting ready to plan your next wedding celebration or looking for an excuse to get friends and family together to celebrate your engagement? Our DIY mimosa bar is exactly what you need to take your brunch to the next level and create a fun experience for the entire party. Not only is our seven-step guide to making the perfect mimosa bar easy, but it lets guests join in on the fun and make their own drinks—leaving you to enjoy the party along with them. We’ve created four drink recipes for you as well as a step-by-step guide to make the setting-up process run as smoothly as possible. In order to create the perfect mimosa bar, you’ll need a few key ingredients. Since one bottle of champagne is equivalent to around six to eight mimosas, keep your guest list in mind when shopping for your favorite bottles of bubbly. Here are the essentials you’ll need to make a mimosa bar that will impress your guests. Champagne: The number of bottles will vary depending on the size of your party. Consider purchasing one bottle of what you need per four guests.
Juices: We used pomegranate, pineapple, grapefruit, and orange juice, but feel free to select juices based on your taste and color scheme. Garnishes: We used pomegranate seeds, strawberries, pineapple wedges, edible flowers, and rosemary, but any fragrant herb or complementing fruit will work too. Juice carafes: Put your juices on display in unique vessels for a clean look like juice carafes. We used 12 oz. carafes for each flavor of juice. Champagne flutes: Can’t forget the most important part! Make sure you have enough champagne glasses available for everyone attending the party. Sugar (optional): We created a sugaring station so guests have an option to add a sugar rim to their glass. In order to make the sugar stick, you will need to include a small bowl of lime juice or water. Decorations: Some ideas include flowers, banners, straws, coasters, and flute charms.
