It’s time for warm-weather brunches, and we’ve got the perfect drink for you: refreshing lemosas! We’ve taken the classic mimosa and given it a springtime twist by adding lemonade and a homemade blueberry syrup, topped off with Champagne or Prosecco. It’s the ultimate way to bring fruity, sunny vibes to your weekend brunch table.
You can make these lemosas as simple or as fancy as you like. Opt for store-bought lemonade or whip up your own homemade version for that extra special touch. And don’t skip the blueberry syrup—it’s incredibly easy to make and adds a burst of flavor to your drink. Plus, you can use it in other cocktails too, like a blueberry gin and tonic!
