Make your own Mimosa Bar [Recipe]


Last month 3 of us (aka the Bridesmaids) put together a Bridal Shower for the special Bride-to-be and we decided on a hightea theme.

I was responsible of making mini hand sandwiches and drinks.
For drinks I decided to throw together a "Make your own Mimosa" Bar and here's what I did

Make your own Mimosa Bar

I bought the 3 bottles (here) and the champagne glasses (here) from Ikea.
I took some Washi Tape and made the flag stirrer w/ the wood coffee stir stick I pickup at work.
(stick the washi tape back to back and cut out the triangle shape to form the flag)
I also made a small signshowing guess the steps to making their Mimosa

What you need:
~ Any Juices (I choose Tropical, Orange and a homemade Raspberry Tea)
~ Champagne/Sparkling Wine (the Rose Sparkling was the girls favorite)
~ some Garnishes (I choose strawberry, mint, lemon, blueberry)
 
Try to keep the Champ[agne/Sparkling Wine chilled in an ice buckets since no one like a warm mimosa.


I also made some Ice Passion fruit Lemonade for non-alcohol drinkers, I basically just made some Starbucks passion fruit tea and added lemonade to it.

This was the first time I used paper straw which look so pretty but I realize that after a while it does melt after sitting in the drink.... so I would advice to put the straw in a cute jar on the side and guest can get their own straw when picking up their drink.


Here's a few more pics from that day, the maid of honor was so talented and made that cute beautiful cake. We also had a mini candy bar for the guest to pick up some treats to go (^_^)
