Warm-weather brunch season has arrived, and we know the drink we'll be serving all spring and summer long: these sweet, bubbly lemosas. We turned the classic mimosa into a signature spring cocktail with the addition of lemonade and a homemade blueberry syrup before topping with Champagne (or Prosecco!). It's our favorite way to add some fruity, warm-weather vibes to our weekend brunch spread.
You can get as fancy as you'd like with these mimosas. Use store-bought, or make our homemade lemonade to truly make these lemosas the best they can be. While a blueberry syrup may seem extra, trust us: it couldn't be easier to make. Plus, once you make it, you can use it in countless other cocktails (blueberry gin and tonic, anyone?).
