Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces (120 ml) sparkling wine (Champagne or Prosecco), preferably dry brut style
- 2 ounces (60 ml) elderflower cordial
- 0.5 ounces (15 ml) fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Ice cubes (for chilling glasses or serving on the side)
- Fresh herbs or fruit garnish (mint sprigs, lemon twists, edible flowers)
Instructions
- Chill your champagne flutes in the fridge or freezer for at least 15 minutes before preparing the mimosa.
- Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of elderflower cordial into each flute.
- If desired, add 0.5 ounces (15 ml) of fresh lemon juice to the cordial and stir gently.
- Slowly top off each glass with 4 ounces (120 ml) of chilled sparkling wine, pouring slowly to keep bubbles lively.
- Garnish with a lemon twist, sprig of mint, or edible flower and serve immediately.
Notes
Keep all ingredients and glasses cold to maintain bubbles. Pour sparkling wine slowly, preferably over the back of a spoon, to preserve fizz. Adjust elderflower cordial quantity to taste to avoid overpowering sweetness. Fresh lemon juice is optional but adds brightness. Garnishes enhance aroma and presentation. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling wine with sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
