Mimosas make me happy. I love the simplicity of fresh squeezed orange juice and a dry champagne combo! It’s hard to imagine that there is anything that can beat a classic mimosa, but here it is!

Lavender and lemon simple syrup give mimosas a fun and beautiful twist. The lavender gives the simple syrup a beautiful and delicate earthy flavor while the lemon brings out a freshness.

  1. This looks so good! What a great spring drink to make for friends!

  2. Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I make it?

    1. Seasalt Savorings says:

      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!
