Notes

The drink can be made sweeter by adding more lavender syrup.

For a stronger lavender taste, muddle fresh lavender in the shaker before adding other ingredients.

Store-bought lavender syrup works well, but homemade syrup offers better flavor control.

Keep garnishes simple – too many additions can overwhelm the drink’s delicate flavors.

Tasting Notes

The Lavender Vodka Spritzer offers a light and refreshing taste with subtle floral notes. The lavender infusion brings a gentle sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm the palate.

Fresh citrus brightens each sip, while the club soda adds a crisp effervescence. The vodka creates a clean base that lets the other flavors shine through.

The drink has a pale purple color with a slight shimmer when held up to light. A fresh lavender sprig garnish adds an aromatic element that enhances the drinking experience.

Flavor Profile:

• Primary: Floral lavender
• Secondary: Bright citrus
• Finish: Clean, crisp bubbles

The cocktail leaves a cool, smooth sensation with no harsh alcohol burn. Its light body makes it perfect for warm weather sipping.

The balance between the floral and citrus elements creates an easy-drinking cocktail that doesn’t become too sweet or perfumed. The bubbles help cleanse the palate between sips.

Substitute

You can swap regular vodka with non-alcoholic vodka alternatives to make this drink alcohol-free. Seedlip Grove 42, Monday Zero Alcohol Gin, or Ritual Zero Proof Spirit are good options.

The lavender syrup can be replaced with other floral syrups. Rose syrup or violet syrup work well. You can also use sugar-free lavender syrup for a low-calorie option.

Club soda substitutes include sparkling water, tonic water, or ginger ale. Each option adds a different twist to the drink’s taste.

Common Replacements:

• Vodka: Gin, white rum, or non-alcoholic spirits
• Lavender syrup: Rose syrup, violet syrup, or sugar-free versions
• Club soda: Sparkling water, tonic water, ginger ale

For a sweeter drink, add a splash of lemonade or elderflower cordial. These mix well with the floral notes and create a refreshing taste.

Fresh lavender sprigs can be switched with dried lavender buds or edible flowers like violets or pansies for garnish.
