In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the champagne vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully integrated and the honey has dissolved.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture to emulsify the vinaigrette. The dressing should thicken slightly.
Add the minced garlic to the bowl and whisk once more to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the vinaigrette.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity to your preference by adding more honey or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean, airtight container or a small jar with a lid for easy storage and shaking.
Refrigerate the vinaigrette for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Shake well before using and drizzle over your favorite salad or use as a marinade for grilled vegetables or proteins. The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
