How Do You Make a Mimosa Bar?
It’s normal to feel anxious about hosting a party, especially if you don’t know how to make a mimosa bar.
Relax and take a deep breath…
You can make your own mimosa bar by following these four simple steps!
Step #1: Purchase the Right Tools
Here are some key tools that you’ll need in your mimosa bar.
Disposable Champagne Flutes
These hard plastic one piece 5 ounce champagne flutes provide an inexpensive solution for the champagne flutes you’ll need for your mimosas.
Why purchase expensive champagne flutes for a group of more than 10 persons when you can buy these hard plastic, reusable champagne flutes?
Remember, learning how to make a mimosa bar and executing it properly doesn’t always have to break the bank! Spending more doesn’t always equate to a better setup. It’s all about finding those right tools, items, and executing it correctly.
A Champagne Flute Tray
You can add some visual interest to your mimosa bar by separating your champagne flutes from the rest of the items at the bar using a flute tray.
The tray you choose depends on the party theme.
For a more elegant and formal setting, a silver or crystal tray would be ideal.
If you’re hosting a brunch party with a more relaxed vibe, a rustic wooden tray or a colorful serving platter could add a fun touch to your mimosa bar. You just want to make sure it matches the theme and aesthetic that you are going for at your party.
Use A Wine Chiller Or Ice Bucket
Ice is a terrible idea for mimosas. Who wants a watered down version of the strong flavors in your mimosa?
To ensure that your guests have a refreshing and cold mimosa (without it being watered down), consider using a wine chiller to keep your champagne and juices cool.
There are a variety of wine chillers available on the market, from simple insulated sleeves to electric chillers that can hold multiple bottles at once. Choose one that fits your budget and party size.
We suggest using the Glasi Ice Mold since it allows you to create beautiful DIY ice mold displays that fit perfect with just about any theme you could want!
Use Carafes
Chances are you won’t be serving one type of mimosa. You want to give your guests as many mimosa options as possible with some of these stunning mimosa recipes.
Therefore, you’ll need some carafes to serve the juices that complement your mimosas. This affordable pack of four carafes is just what you need!
Small Serving Bowls and Utensils
Fruit garnishes add a fun twist to mimosas. You can have some fresh fruits at your mimosa bar that complement your mimosas.
Try pairing your fruit bowls with the right serving utensils so that guests can choose the fruits they love for their mimosas.
Here are two GREAT options:
5 Compartment Condiment Server Caddy
3 Carafes with Lids and Garnish Bowls
The lids on these carafes are awesome! You won’t have to worry about bugs getting into your juices if you have an outdoor party. However, the price may seem a bit expensive although the carafes are also paired with serving bowls.
Additionally, there are no serving spoons. So those are some considerations to think over first.
A Pack (Or Two) of Convokins
Picture this… A guest walks up to your mimosa bar, picks up one of Cotier Brand’s unique Convokins and starts a conversation with the person standing beside her based on the conversation prompt.
The conversation becomes even more interesting as they sip delicious mimosas from your mimosa bar.
You’ve just helped two people make a REAL connection!
The Right Decorations
You want a mimosa bar that grabs the attention of your guests.
Interesting mimosas keep guests coming back. But, the right decorations pique their interest.
This unique reusable mimosa bar decoration kit is an all-in-one solution for giving your mimosa bar the eye-catching lift it needs.
Step #2: Think About the Types of Mimosas You Want to Feature
You have the hardware. However, you need to carefully consider the types of mimosas you want to feature. This way you can purchase the right champagne and juices.
In fact, some mimosa recipes may require additional tools such a mortar and pestle for grinding ingredients.

Step #3: Buy the Right Bubbly and Juices
What’s mimosa without champagne? Just juice… and no body just wants juice. So you’ll need to purchase the right bubbles.
The right champagne for mimosas depends on the mimosa recipe though. We won’t break down all of the matches you can make between champagnes and juices, but you can view this guide on the best champagnes for mimosas for more details.
Also keep in mind that you can get about 6 to 8 mimosas from a 750 mL bottle of champagne. Eight bottles of champagne should be just right for a group of 20 guests who each have about 2 to 3 mimosas.
Step #4: Incorporate Mimosa Bar Games
Parties are about having fun and making connections! You can effortlessly incorporate your mimosa bar into the activities you have for your party. Yup, you read that right, you can incorporate mimosa bar games into your party.
Moreover, we believe that merely teaching you how to make a mimosa bar wouldn’t be complete without mentioning ways to interact with your guests.
Try the “Name that Mimosa” Game
- Select four volunteers.
- Give each volunteer a sheet of paper and a pen or pencil.
- Give each volunteer a shot of each of the party’s signature mimosas.
- Ask each volunteer to list the ingredients of the mimosa and give each mimosa a unique name relevant to the party.
- The person who correctly identifies most of the ingredients and/or has the most interesting names wins!
This game is a great way to get people excited about the mimosa bar and encourage interaction.
