Notes

You can make the ginger-honey simple syrup ahead of time. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use for up to 3 days. Use an additional 1-2 Tbsp of apple cider, plus a sweeter champagne, to make a sweeter drink. Use dry champagne for a less sweet version. Use sparkling apple cider for an alcohol free version. You may want to reduce the honey in the simple syrup unless you want a really sweet drink.
