Italian Plum Mimosa Mocktail

The perfect mocktail recipe for hosting brunches or parties this fall

I am a self-proclaimed bubbles queen! I absolutely love champagne and sparkling wines, which is why I was exited to try Surely's Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Brut. It's an award-winning alcohol-removed bubbly white that's very dry with hints of of lemon, peach and passion fruit. With only 30 calories and 6g of sugar a glass, you can sip this guilt-free all day.

For this mocktail recipe I made a homemade plum simple syrup with Italian plums from my friend's backyard. This syrup comes together in a snap, and can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 10-14 days. I especially love the plum color for fall. Depending on the varietal of plums you use, yours may range from pinkish hue to a deeper red.
