Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup fresh key lime juice about 10-12 limes
  • 2 cups chilled champagne or sparkling wine
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup club soda optional, for extra fizz
  • Key lime wedges for garnish

Equipment

  • Champagne flutes
  • Juicer or citrus squeezer
  • Mixing pitcher
  • Measuring cups
  • Small whisk or spoon

Method
 

  1. Juice the limes until you have one cup of fresh key lime juice.
  2. If you don’t have simple syrup ready, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
  3. In a mixing pitcher, combine the fresh key lime juice with the simple syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors together.
  4. Ensure your champagne is well-chilled.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the key lime juice mixture into each champagne flute.
  6. Slowly top off each glass with chilled champagne.
  7. If using, add a splash of club soda to each glass for extra fizz.
  8. Garnish each mimosa with a key lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness to your liking by varying the simple syrup amount. Best served fresh for optimal bubbles.
