Notes
My Top Tips
Make Ahead - Lemon Simple Syrup can be made up to 5 days in advance of using.
Portion Sizing - 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.
Substitutions
Make it a Mocktail - A non-alcoholic version of this mimosa can be made by substituting a plain seltzer or lemon sparkling water for the Prosecco.
