Notes

This recipe can be adjusted to taste. For a stronger lavender flavor, steep the syrup longer. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more honey syrup.

Make sure to use food-grade lavender. Some garden varieties may have been treated with chemicals not safe for eating.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the Prosecco and vodka with sparkling water or lemonade.

The lavender honey syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Tasting Notes

The Lavender Honey Prosecco Spritz offers a light and refreshing flavor profile. Its taste is a blend of floral and sweet notes, balanced by the bubbles of the Prosecco.

The first sip reveals a gentle lavender aroma. This floral taste is not overpowering, but rather subtle and pleasant. The honey adds a natural sweetness that complements the lavender well.

Prosecco brings a crisp, dry element to the cocktail. Its bubbles create a lively texture on the tongue. The sparkling wine also adds hints of green apple and pear to the mix.

A squeeze of lemon provides a bright, citrusy finish. This touch of acidity balances out the sweetness of the honey and enhances the overall freshness of the drink.

This cocktail is best enjoyed chilled. Its light and airy nature makes it perfect for warm weather sipping. The flavors work together to create a drink that is both sophisticated and easy to enjoy.

Substitute

Can’t find lavender honey or Prosecco for your cocktail? No worries! There are easy swaps you can make.

For the lavender honey, try plain honey with a few drops of food-grade lavender oil. You can also use regular honey and garnish with fresh lavender sprigs.

No Prosecco on hand? Any dry sparkling wine will work. Cava or Champagne are good options. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.

If you’re out of lemon juice, lime juice makes a zesty replacement. Orange juice can work too, but it will change the flavor profile.

Don’t have elderflower liqueur? Skip it or add a splash of simple syrup for sweetness.
