Recipe Notes
♥ Lemon Simple Syrup can be made up to 5 days in advance of using.
♥ The number of servings this recipe makes is dependent on the size of glass. For best results, glasses should not exceed 7.5 ounces . Champagne flutes are classically pretty and crystal juice glasses are timeless as well.
♥ A non-alcoholic version can be made by substituting Monin Elderflower syrup for the Drillaud Liqueur and lemon sparkling water for the Prosecco.
