Offer a Variety of Juices
OJ isn't the only juice that makes for a great mimosa. Offer pineapple, guava, orange mango, and cranberry juice options. That way, after everyone has their classic orange juice-based mimosa, they can mix it up. Bonus: Include a variety of fruits, too, like blackberries, strawberries, peaches, and raspberries.

Offer Mini Champagne Bottles
Ditch the big bottles of champagne for personal mini ones. This way, people won’t have to wait in line for long and can craft their drink at their table instead. Plus, you can attach cute paper straws to them and labels if the brunch is for a wedding, baby shower, or any other celebration.

Make the Perfect Mimosa
Once you have your spread setup, it's time for the most important part: the drinks. This mimosa is made with a 1:1 ratio of champagne and orange juice. Jazz it up with fruit slices or a splash of triple sec (if you're feeling extra fancy).
