# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours at a fancy bar, but you're done in five minutes flat.
  • The elderflower and guava pairing feels unexpected until you taste how perfectly they complement each other, like they were always meant to be together.
  • Everyone at the table will ask for the recipe, and you'll love that moment when you tell them how simple it actually is.
02 -
  • The temperature matters more than you think—warm champagne and guava nectar will create a flat, forgettable drink, so chill everything beforehand.
  • Resist the urge to over-stir; these mimosas are all about their delicate layers, and too much stirring turns them murky instead of luminous.
03 -
  • Buy elderflower liqueur from a real bottle, not syrup trying to pretend—the difference in depth and flavor is absolutely worth it.
  • Keep extra champagne in an ice bucket during your gathering so you can top up glasses as people sip, keeping that fizz alive and the flavors balanced.
