A quick and easy mimosa bar featuring fresh, vibrant fruit purees that add natural sweetness and color, perfect for celebrations and gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • Fresh mango, peeled and diced
  • Fresh raspberries
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Fresh orange juice (about 1 cup / 240 ml)
  • Granulated sugar or honey (1-2 tablespoons, optional)
  • Fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Chilled champagne or sparkling wine (750 ml bottle)
  • Chilled sparkling water or club soda (for non-alcoholic options)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
  • Thinly sliced citrus fruits (lemons, limes, and oranges for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and chop the fresh fruits separately—about 1 to 1½ cups (150-225 g) per fruit type. Place one fruit at a time into the blender.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar or honey (adjust based on fruit sweetness) and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to balance the flavors.
  3. Blend each fruit with ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh orange juice until smooth, about 30-45 seconds. If the puree feels too thick, add a splash more orange juice.
  4. Pour the fruit puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp. Use a spatula to press and extract as much liquid as possible. Repeat for each fruit puree.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the strained purees until ready to serve, at least 20 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  6. Chill the champagne or sparkling wine and sparkling water well in advance. Set up a large pitcher or dispenser with the bubbly and place the fruit purees in small bowls with spoons nearby.
  7. Slice citrus fruits thinly for decoration and prepare fresh mint sprigs to add a pop of color and aroma.
  8. Pour chilled champagne (or sparkling water) about 2/3 full into flutes. Let guests add their preferred fruit puree, gently stirring to combine. Garnish with a mint leaf or a citrus slice.
  9. If the purees separate or feel watery, give them a quick stir before serving. For too tart purees, a pinch more sugar can mellow the flavor right before serving.
  10. Make the purees a day ahead to allow flavors to meld and chill thoroughly. Just give them a shake or stir before setting up the bar.

Notes

Use ripe, in-season fruits for best flavor. Strain purees for smooth texture. Keep sparkling wine chilled but not ice-cold (around 45°F). Avoid stirring vigorously after pouring bubbly to preserve fizz. Purees can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated. Leftover purees freeze well in ice cube trays for later use.
