What you Need in a Pimp Your Prosecco Station

Of course you can add anything you like to your bubbly bar, but these are the most popular ingredients for pimping prosecco...

  • Bubbly! Prosecco is good, but we're equally partial to Champagne, Cava, sparkling rosé, and English sparkling wine, which is growing quite the reputation among Champagne connoisseurs
  • Juices & purees, peach and orange are most popular juices for mimosas or a Buck's Fizz, but pineapple, pomegranate, mango, and berry puree are also delicious
  • Cordials & sodas, flavoured fizzy waters, fresh lemonade, cream soda, ginger beer or elderflower cordial make beautiful additions to bubbly - check out out new fave Irish mixer company, House Soda!
  • Liqueurs, these add a luxe touch to your station, Chambord, creme de cassis, sloe gin, limoncello and Triple Sec all work well
  • Fruit, fresh or frozen both work, summer berries are most popular but we've also seen pomegranate seeds, peaches, plums, blood oranges, apples and tropical fruit selections, like mango, pineapple, guava and dragon fruit
  • Garnishes, orange peel, cucumber, springs of rosemary thyme, fennel seeds, basil, lavender or edible flower petals, you can really get creative with this one!

How to Style a Pimp Your Prosecco Bar

Pretty and practical, make your bar look beautiful and run smoothly with these additional extras!

  • Signage, these don't just serve the purpose of looking chic, they'll also let guests who are unfamiliar with the mimosa bar concept, know that it's okay to get stuck in and create a bespoke beverage - get lots of signage ideas here
  • Glassware, make sure there's enough glasses for all your guests!
  • Pretty vessels, avoid simple sticking out cartons of juice or tupperware filled with fruit, use carafes, vintage bottles or pretty bowls to present your pimping supplies
  • Spoons and tongs, so your guests won't be sticking their fingers in the fruit!
  • Ice buckets, keep your bubbly nice and cold for your guests
  • Labels, to identify each element on your bar, this is important for the juices in particular - find some great bubbly bar printables here.
  • co*cktail napkins and drinks stirrers, to make your drinks extra special (we're also partial to a paper umbrella from time to time!)

Where to Have Your Pimp Your Prosecco Bar

The drinks reception or co*cktail hour is often the best time to have a Pimp Your Prosecco bar, so you can set up a bar cart or table close to where people will be gathering. Ask your wedding party or venue staff to encourage your guests to grab a drink!

We also love the idea of having a glass of bubbly on arrival at your ceremony (if it's good enough for Meghan and Harry!) so a station at the entrance to your venue (not if it's a church of course) would be a really fun touch. Likewise you could set up your bubbly bar by the wedding cake or dessert table as an after dinner treat for your guests.

Mimosa stations also work for next day, post-wedding parties, as well as for hen nights - guys, the bubbly drinking options are endless!
