# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can sleep in and still serve something that looks restaurant-worthy.
  • It's endlessly customizable so your board reflects what you actually have on hand or what your guests adore.
  • The combination of sweet pastries, tart fruit, and bubbly creates this naturally joyful celebration without you having to do much.
02 -
  • Prep your fruit no more than an hour ahead or it starts weeping and looking sad on the board; everything else can be ready earlier.
  • If you're making mimosas ahead, keep the wine and juice separate and only combine them when you're ready to serve, otherwise they lose their sparkle.
03 -
  • Choose your serving board or platter the night before and lay everything out without the actual food so you know exactly how much space you have and where things will live.
  • The secret that transforms this from nice to memorable is offering fresh-squeezed orange juice in your mimosas; it's the only expensive thing on this spread and it's absolutely worth it.
