Brunch time calls for mimosas, especially if in the company of friends and family. We all want to keep our champagne chilled, but obviously don’t want watered-down champagne, and since we refuse to drink warm or watered-down champagne, that really only leaves us with one option – ice cubes made of fruit! They will keep your champagne cold while also adding the perfect amount of flavor once melted, and can be made as simple or complicated as you’d like. To help you spruce up your next brunch, we put together four of our favorite ice cube alternatives!

Below are some Amazon finds for ice cube molds for your own ice cube alternatives! Unfortunately links to the exact molds seen in the videos are not available, but these are a great and affordable alternative!

Let’s dive right in to our four favorite ice cube alternatives!

Ingredients

• 1 raspberry per ice cube mold
• 2 cups orange juice, approx.

Directions

1. Add 1 raspberry to each ice cube mold.
2. Fill mold to top with orange juice.
3. Place in freezer to freeze all the way through.
4. Once frozen, remove from ice cube mold and place 1-2 ice cubes in your glass of champagne.

Notes

• Exact amount of raspberries and orange juice will depend on the size of your ice cube molds and how many ice cubes are made. The above amount is an estimate based on the amount of ice cubes made in the pictures. More of each can be added, if desired.

Ingredients

• 2-3 large oranges, cut into 18 thin orange slices
• 3 cups orange juice, approx.

Directions

1. Slice each orange in half, and then into thin slices, to make a total of 18 thin orange slices.
2. Take 1 orange slice, gently bend and place in ice cube mold. Repeat with 2 more orange slices, slightly rotating each one as you place them all in the same mold.
3. Repeat to fill the remaining ice cube molds.
4. Once each mold has 3 orange slices inside, fill each mold approx. half way with orange juice.
5. Place in freezer to freeze all the way through.
6. Once frozen, remove from ice cube mold and place 1 cube in your glass of champagne.

Notes

• The amount of orange juice is an estimate based on the amount of ice cubes made in the pictures.
• You may need a wider glass than a traditional champagne flute.
