Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To keep the bar looking fresh, keep the sparkling wine and juices on ice. Using frozen berries as ice cubes is a clever trick to keep drinks cold without diluting them as they melt. Ensure your blender produces a very smooth puree for the best consistency.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For guests who prefer a non-alcoholic option, provide extra sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine. You can also vary the selection by adding other pureed fruits like mango, blueberries, or blood orange to keep the bar exciting.
