Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the lemon-honey base in advance and refrigerate. Add sparkling wine just before serving.

What's the best sparkling wine to use?

Champagne or Crémant work beautifully, but any dry sparkling wine will do. Look for something crisp rather than overly sweet.

Can I make this non-alcoholic?

You can substitute with a high-quality sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine for a similar effect.

What does the lemon olive oil do?

It adds a subtle roundness and depth, enhancing the citrus without overpowering the drink.
