Get Started With Essentials
First things first, let’s talk about the essentials. To create a successful mimosa bar, you’ll need a few key items: champagne (or prosecco), juice mixers, glasses, and garnishes.
When it comes to the champagne, you can opt for a traditional Brut or choose a sweeter option like a Rose or Moscato. If it’s within your budget, it would be ideal to have both options… People like options.
For juice mixers, you’ll want to have a variety of options such as orange juice, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, and grapefruit juice (we’re all about the options today). Make sure to provide both pulp and pulp-free to accommodate everyone’s preferences.
As for glasses, you can never go wrong with classic champagne flutes, but stemless ones work just as well.
Lastly, provide a selection of garnishes such as fresh fruit, herbs like rosemary or mint, and even edible glitter if you really want to get crazy!
Once you have all the necessary essentials, it’s time to get creative with your presentation. It’s time to start decorating your mimosa station.
Decorating Your Holiday Mimosa Station
Choose a Focal Point: The first step in creating a holiday mimosa station is to choose a focal point for your station. This can be a table or any other area where you’ll serve your drinks from. You can also opt for a classic bar cart or decorate your kitchen island or dining table with garland and twinkling lights. Once you’ve chosen your focal point, you can start decorating around it!
Add Some Sparkle: No holiday party is complete without some sparkle. To add some extra sparkle to your mimosa station, consider using gold or cherry tablecloths, napkins, and utensils. You can also add some glitter to your decorations or use metallic confetti to add some shimmer and shine.
Convokins Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner napkins are perfect for this, as they offer a beautiful and classic holiday design. Not only that, but they double as a conversation starter! Perfect for the guests and perfect for the party planner (you).
Include Festive Signs: Don’t forget about adding some fun and creative signs to your mimosa station. This could include a “Mimosa Bar” or “Cheers” sign or really any kind of holiday related sign should do. You can also label each juice mixer with clever holiday-themed names.
Arrange Your Glass: To give it an extra touch, make sure to arrange your glasses in a pyramid-like structure for added visual appeal. You should also consider decorating your glasses with festive decals or tying a ribbon around each stem for a fun touch.
Incorporate Seasonal Decorations: Add some seasonal decorations like pine cones, holly, or mini Christmas trees to make your mimosa station truly feel like a winter wonderland. For Thanksgiving, you can use pumpkins. Get creative and have fun with it!
Use A Mimosa Bar Holiday Decor Kit
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with decorating, consider using a mimosa bar holiday decor kit. These kits come with everything you need to decorate your mimosa station, from the big things such as festive signs and banners to the small things such as labels and strings.
They take the guesswork out of decorating and make it easy for anyone to create a beautiful and inviting mimosa station.
Tips for a Smooth and Enjoyable Experience
- Pre-slice or pre-peel any fruits that will be used as garnishes to save time and prevent messes at the mimosa station.
- Keep the garnish in a fresh container until the last minute before setting them out.
- Keep extra mixers, glasses, and champagne on hand in case of any spills or unexpected guests.
- Label any alcoholic beverages for those who are not familiar with different types of champagne.
- Have a variety of non-alcoholic options available for designated drivers and non-drinkers.
- Don’t forget to have plenty of ice on hand to keep your drinks chilled.
- Keep the mixers and drinks chilled ahead of time and don’t set it out too early before guests arrive.
