- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
- No Crème de Cassis? Use Crème de Mûre (Blackberry instead of blackcurrant)
- No Crème de Cassis? Use Chambord (Raspberry instead of blackcurrant)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
- No Champagne? Use Prosecco (Fruitier and a little sweeter)
