Method
 

Preparation
  1. Put sparkling wine in the fridge at least three hours before the party or use buckets with ice right before guests arrive.
  2. Pour orange, peach, and pineapple juice into labeled pitchers and keep them cold in the fridge.
  3. Wash and slice berries, kiwi, lemon, and lime. Put each fruit in its own small bowl with a small spoon or tongs.
  4. Blend strawberries or other soft fruit into a smooth puree and store in a small covered bowl in the fridge.
  5. Pour juice or chopped fruit into ice cube trays and freeze to create flavored ice.
Setup
  1. Arrange bottles, pitchers, bowls, and ice on a table neatly, grouping items by type.
  2. Set up a rim station with sugar and a lemon or orange wedge for guests to create sweet edges on their glasses.
  3. Inform guests to add sparkling wine first, then top with juice or puree to keep the drink bubbly and visually appealing.
  4. Ensure sparkling water and juices are available for making mocktails.
  5. Keep extra bottles and juices nearby to refill quickly as needed.

Notes

Store leftover juice in the fridge for up to three days. Buy ready-made items for even easier setup. Pair with light pastries and finger foods for a complete experience.
