Mimosa Bar
A Mimosa Bar is a fun way to celebrate a baby shower, bridal shower and even Mother’s Day.
The mimosa cocktail is a perfect addition to that next celebration you’re having.
Our family is getting ready to celebrate a new addition. Grandbaby #8 is scheduled to arrive any day now and so we recently had a mimosa bar for a baby shower for my daughter-in-law Leigh.
I called our drink bar a Mama-Mosa Bar in honor of our future mama-to-be.
And let me tell you, that Mom-Mosa Bar was the hit of the baby shower, second to my daughter-in-law Leigh, a glowing mama-to-be!
We showered her with gifts for my new grandbaby and the room was filled with lots of love for my son Bryan, Leigh, and baby Mueller, their greatest adventure yet!
It’s really so easy and so much fun having a DIY Mimosa Bar. Everyone will love making their own mimosa. Just follow my tips for setting up a delicious drink bar and you’ll be all set!

Mimosa FAQ's
What is a mimosa?
A mimosa is a cocktail made of champagne or another sparkling wine and a citrus juice, typically orange juice.
What is the best alcohol for mimosas?
After adding the fruit and juice top off your glass with some bubbly Prosecco or champagne.
Sparkling juice or Pellegrino will be a nice addition for a non-alcoholic mimosa.
How to make the best Mimosa
- Select your fruit
- Add juice
- Top with bubbles
Mimosa Bar Ideas
We started out with a selection of fresh fruits and these bowls for fruit will dress up your table!
I actually used clear glass terrarium bowls for the fruit that are angled at the top and make such a pretty presentation.
Select fresh fruit that compliments the fruit juices you plan to serve.
Fresh fruits you could serve are:
- Grapes
- Cherries
- Orange slices
- Peach slices
- Pineapple wedges
- Pomegranate seeds
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
Mimosa Bar Juices
Next we added an assortment of juices to pair with our selection of fresh fruit.
There are so many combinations of fruit juices to choose from these days so just let your taste buds go wild!
Our mimosa bar juice assortment included:
- Cran-orange juice
- Orange juice
- Peach juice
- Pineapple juice
Other juice flavors you may want to serve are:
- Apple
- Lemonade
- Mango
- Pomegranate
- Raspberry
The fruit juices look so pretty when presented in carafes or pretty pitchers.
Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips

Setting up a drink bar
Signs will make your drink bar easy for everyone to navigate. Just label the ingredients and take them through step by step how to make a mimosa.
I love mini blackboard signs for the fruits and juice flavors. These chalkboards on stands would also look great.
You could also hang these mini chalkboards right on the juice carafes labeled with the flavor of juice.
A larger chalkboard works well for walking people through the steps of making their cocktail.
And of course, a beautiful large Mimosa bar sign will invite everyone over to make their cocktail.
I like using white liquid chalk to label everything but you can coordinate the color theme of your party and make your DIY bar more colorful with multi-colored liquid chalk or assorted colors of blackboard chalk.
Mimosas are usually served in champagne flutes. I also love stemless champagne flutes and these square bottom champagne flutes are especially beautiful and very on trend these days.
Plastic stemless champagne flutes are best to use when you’re having a big crowd.
Add an acrylic tub or hammered steel tub filled with ice for the "bubbly" and you're all set!
