• 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

For Each Cocktail:

• 1 oz lavender simple syrup
• 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
• 4 oz chilled prosecco
• Lemon twist or fresh lavender sprig for garnish

Instructions

• Make the lavender syrup first. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Notes

The lavender syrup stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

Make a non-alcoholic version by replacing prosecco with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.

For a stronger lavender flavor, steep the dried flowers for up to 15 minutes.

Chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for the best results.

Tasting Notes

This elegant cocktail offers a perfect mix of sweet and floral notes. The prosecco brings bright bubbles and crisp apple flavors, while fresh lemon adds a zesty citrus kick.

Dried lavender provides gentle, herbal aromatics that float above the glass. Each sip starts with the fizzy prosecco, followed by tart lemon, and ends with a subtle lavender finish.

The cocktail’s color is a pale golden yellow with a slight purple tint from the lavender. Tiny bubbles rise continuously through the drink, creating an appealing visual effect.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Primary: Crisp prosecco, fresh lemon
• Secondary: Floral lavender, honey
• Finish: Light, refreshing, slightly herbal

The drink maintains a balanced sweetness level that’s neither too sugary nor too tart. Its light and refreshing character makes it great for spring and summer gatherings.

A gentle stir before drinking helps blend the flavors while keeping the bubbles intact. The lavender taste stays subtle and doesn’t overpower the other ingredients.
