Elderberry-Flower Mimosa

We recommend using a good-quality California or Spanish sparkling wine for this recipe. Both are widely available and less expensive than champagne.
You may want to garnish these drinks with fresh elderberry flowers; if so, make sure the blossoms you buy are unsprayed (nontoxic).
