Tasting Notes

This refreshing cocktail brings a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The lavender adds a light floral note that pairs well with the bright citrus taste of fresh lemonade.

The bubbles from the sparkling wine create a crisp, effervescent texture. Each sip starts with gentle lavender, followed by zesty lemon, and ends with a clean, dry finish.

Flavor Profile:

• Front: Subtle lavender, honey sweetness
• Middle: Fresh lemon, bright citrus
• Finish: Clean, crisp bubbles

The drink appears a soft purple-pink color with tiny champagne bubbles rising to the surface. A garnish of fresh lavender sprigs and lemon wheels adds visual appeal and enhances the aroma.

This cocktail works best when served very cold in a tall glass. The flavors become more pronounced as the drink warms slightly, with the lavender notes becoming more noticeable.

Perfect Serving Temperature: 38-42°F (3-6°C)

The drink maintains its fizz for about 15-20 minutes, making it ideal for casual sipping. A gentle stir helps redistribute the flavors and revive the bubbles.

Substitute

Several ingredients in the lavender lemonade spritz can be swapped for other options. The recipe stays tasty with these changes.

Replace prosecco with:

• Sparkling water
• Ginger ale
• Sprite or 7-Up
• Non-alcoholic sparkling wine

The lavender syrup can be traded for other flower syrups. Try these options:

• Rose syrup
• Elderflower syrup
• Violet syrup

Fresh lemon juice works best. But bottled lemon juice will do in a pinch. Also, remember that each cup of fresh juice equals ¼ cup of bottled juice.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka. Add extra prosecco substitute or a splash of cranberry juice instead.

Quick tip: When using dried lavender instead of fresh, use half the amount listed in the recipe.
