A quick and easy mimosa bar featuring fresh fruit purees that allow guests to customize their drinks with vibrant flavors and sparkling wine, perfect for any celebration or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized fresh oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 2 cups ripe strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 large fresh mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (optional)
  • 12 tablespoons granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Chilled sparkling wine (Prosecco, Champagne, or favorite sparkling white wine), about one bottle per 4-5 guests
  • Chilled soda water or sparkling water (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Fresh fruit slices (orange wheels, strawberry halves, mango chunks) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse and prep your fruit—peel oranges, hull strawberries, chop mango and pineapple. Divide the fruit by type for separate purees.
  2. Place each fruit type in the blender with 1 tablespoon of sugar and a splash of fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. For a thinner consistency, add a teaspoon or two of cold water as needed.
  3. Pour the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing with a spoon to extract maximum flavor. Orange and mango purees usually don’t need straining unless you prefer extra smoothness.
  4. Transfer each puree to a glass pitcher or bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  5. Arrange purees alongside chilled sparkling wine bottles, glasses, fresh fruit slices, and garnishes like mint on your serving table.
  6. Guests spoon a couple of tablespoons of their chosen fruit puree into their glass, then top it with sparkling wine or soda water to taste. Mix and match flavors as desired.

Notes

Avoid pouring sparkling wine too quickly to keep bubbles intact. Mix purees with sparkling wine just before drinking to maintain freshness and fizz. Chilling purees and sparkling wine enhances flavor and carbonation. Frozen berries can be used as a substitute for fresh in summer for a thicker puree. Purees can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored refrigerated. Leftover purees can be frozen in ice cube trays for future use.
