Notes
My Top Tips
♡ Sparkling wine can be very fizzy, and judging how much to pour can be tricky. Always add sparkling wine to the glass before the simple syrup, and then add more bubbly to top off the glass.
♡ The number of servings this recipe makes depends on the size of the glassware. For best results, glasses should not exceed 7.5 ounces. Champagne flutes are classically pretty, and crystal juice glasses are timeless as well.
