- Strain the syrup. Grab a small strainer and strain the zest and flowers from the syrup. Put the syrup in a glass bottle and store in the fridge.

Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I make it?
The Lavender Lemonade Mimosas recipe requires making a lavender lemon simple syrup that you can prepare ahead of time. Once made, the simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month. This will allow you to make the mimosas fresh on the day you want to serve them, which is best because champagne tends to lose its effervescence once opened.
If you’re planning for an event, you can make the lavender lemon simple syrup a few days or even a couple of weeks in advance. On the day of the event, you just need to add the syrup to the champagne flutes, pour in the champagne, and add garnishes. This will make the preparation quick and easy!
