Lavender and Lemon Prosecco Cocktail Recipe

A Lavender and Lemon Prosecco Cocktail is honestly one of my favorite ways to enjoy a refreshing drink with a little floral twist. This recipe walks you through blending lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and crisp prosecco for a cocktail that’s simple, elegant, and honestly kind of addictive.

I like making this for small gatherings or just as a light, summery treat for myself. It’s a little special but not fussy, which is my sweet spot.

The lavender gives off this gentle, calming scent right from the start. Lemon jumps in with bright citrus notes that wake everything up.

Prosecco bubbles tie it all together and keep things lively. If you’re hoping to impress guests with something easy but a bit unique, this recipe should do the trick.

Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker (for mixing the lavender syrup and lemon juice)
• Measuring jigger: For accurate liquid measurements.
• Fine mesh strainer (to strain out lavender or ice shards)
• Bar spoon (helpful for stirring gently)
• Champagne flutes or wine glasses (to serve the cocktail)
• Small saucepan (if making homemade lavender syrup)
• Citrus juicer: For fresh lemon juice.
• Ice cube tray (to chill the drink)
• Serving tray (optional, for presentation)

Ingredients

• 3 oz Prosecco chilled; any dry brand works
• 1 oz lemon juice freshly squeezed for best flavor
• 1/2 oz lavender simple syrup homemade or store-bought
• Ice cubes enough to fill the shaker partway
• Lemon wheel or twist for garnish
• Fresh lavender sprig optional, for decoration
• Optional: extra sugar to rim the glass

Instructions

• Add ice to the cocktail shaker.
• Pour in the lemon juice and lavender syrup.
• Shake well for about 10 seconds.
• Strain into a chilled flute or wine glass.
• Top the glass with Prosecco, pouring slowly to keep the bubbles.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon.
• Garnish with a lemon wheel or twist, plus a lavender sprig if using.

Notes

I always taste the lavender syrup before using it. Some are punchier than others, and I’ve had to dial it back a bit when it was too strong.

Not in the mood for something sweet? I just use less syrup or add more lemon juice. If I want it extra floral, I’ll toss in a touch more syrup or a bigger sprig of lavender.

This cocktail really shines when it’s fresh. Leftovers? Not so much—the bubbles disappear, and it gets kind of flat. I only mix up what I plan to serve.

If I’m making these for a group, I’ll prep everything except the Prosecco ahead of time, then add the bubbles right before serving. That way, everyone gets the fizz.

Tasting Notes

First sip, and you get this gentle floral aroma—lavender, but not over the top. It’s calming, just enough to notice.

The flavor hits crisp and bright. Lemon gives it that zesty pop, and the Prosecco bubbles keep things light.

There’s a bit of sweetness from the syrup, but it doesn’t take over. I also catch a subtle earthiness from the lavender, which keeps it interesting.

Key flavors I notice:

• Light floral notes
• Tangy citrus
• Subtle sweetness
• Refreshing bubbles

The balance of floral and citrus is honestly super refreshing. The aftertaste is clean—no heaviness or sticky sweetness lingering.

This cocktail feels light, both in the glass and on the tongue. It’s easy to drink and just perfect for warmer days, if you ask me.

Substitute

If I don’t have all the original ingredients for the Lavender and Lemon Prosecco Cocktail, I just look for a few easy swaps. No need to stress—there’s usually something in the kitchen that works.

Ingredients:

• Prosecco substitute: Sometimes I’ll grab sparkling white grape juice or even club soda if I want to skip the alcohol.
• Lavender syrup substitute: If I’m out of lavender syrup, I’ll stir together a bit of honey or simple syrup with a drop of vanilla. Not quite the same, but it gets close enough.
• Lemon juice substitute: Bottled lemon juice or, honestly, lime juice will do if fresh lemons have vanished from my fridge.
• Garnish substitute: A sprig of rosemary or a twist of lime peel can stand in for fresh lavender. Not traditional, but it looks pretty nice.

Equipment:

• Glass or cup—wine glass, champagne flute, or just whatever’s clean
• Spoon or a small whisk
• Jigger or a little measuring cup

Instructions:

• Add ice to the glass if I’m in the mood for something really chilled.
• I measure and pour in the Prosecco (or whatever I’m using instead).
• Then I stir in the lavender syrup alternative and whatever I’ve got for lemon juice.
• A gentle mix with a spoon or whisk is all it takes.
• Top it off with the garnish—whatever’s handy—and it’s ready to go.
