Ingredients
- 750 ml (25.4 oz) dry or extra dry Prosecco (e.g., La Marca)
- 2 cups (480 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality store-bought juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda (optional for lighter versions)
- 4–5 cups fresh seasonal fruit, such as:
- – Strawberries, hulled and sliced
- – Blueberries
- – Peach slices (summer)
- – Raspberry clusters
- – Thin apple slices with skin on (fall)
- – Kiwifruit slices
- Fresh herbs (optional): mint or basil sprigs for garnish
- Additional juices (optional): grapefruit or pineapple juice for variety
Instructions
- Chill the Prosecco, orange juice, and sparkling water in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly. Hull and slice strawberries, peel and slice kiwifruit, thinly slice apples, and prepare other fruits as needed.
- Arrange the prepared fruit in small bowls or on a platter for easy access.
- Pour chilled Prosecco into a large pitcher. Keep orange juice and sparkling water in separate containers or pitchers for guests to mix their own drinks.
- Set up the mimosa bar with fruit bowls, glasses, and fresh herbs on the table or countertop.
- To make a classic mimosa, fill a glass one-third orange juice (about 2 oz/60 ml) and two-thirds Prosecco (about 4 oz/120 ml). For lighter versions, substitute some juice with sparkling water.
- Add fruit pieces directly to the glass for flavor and garnish with a sprig of mint if desired.
- Enjoy immediately while bubbles are lively. If preparing in advance, keep ingredients chilled and assemble drinks just before serving.
Notes
[‘Keep all ingredients chilled to preserve bubbles and freshness.’, ‘Pour Prosecco slowly down the side of the glass to avoid overflow and preserve bubbles.’, ‘Cut fruit into bite-sized pieces and avoid overripe fruit to prevent mushiness.’, ‘Frozen fruit cubes can be used to chill drinks without diluting flavor.’, ‘Offer sparkling water as an option for lighter or lower-sugar mimosas.’, ‘Non-alcoholic versions can use sparkling white grape juice or sparkling water with a splash of juice.’, ‘Prepare fruit and chill ingredients a few hours ahead but mix drinks just before serving.’, ‘Store cut fruit in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.’]
