Instructions
- Choose your location: Find a spot that’s easily accessible for guests, preferably near your kitchen or dining area.
- Set up your base: Lay a festive tablecloth or runner that complements your holiday décor. Add holiday decorations like garlands, ornaments, or small fairy lights.
- Prepare your juices: Chill all juices ahead of time. Pour each juice into a separate pitcher or carafe and label them clearly for your guests.
- Chill the champagne: Keep your champagne or sparkling wine in the refrigerator until just before serving. Place it in an ice bucket or cooler to keep it cold throughout the event.
- Arrange your garnishes: Wash and prepare your garnishes. Slice oranges, pick fresh mint leaves, and arrange everything neatly in bowls or on a platter.
- Add glassware: Line up champagne flutes or glasses on the bar. If you’re using disposable cups, opt for a clear style to showcase the colorful mimosas.
- Provide instructions: Include a simple sign or instructions for guests to mix their mimosas. For example: ‘Start with champagne, add juice, and finish with your favorite garnish!’
- Offer ice: Place an ice bucket or bowl nearby, and consider providing tongs or a scoop for easy access.
- Test your setup: Before your guests arrive, make yourself a mimosa to ensure everything is working smoothly and looks fabulous.
