Elderflower Rosé Spritz Cocktail Recipe
This Elderflower Rosé Spritz just works for warm afternoons or small get-togethers. I like its balanced mix of floral notes, crisp bubbles, and a little hint of citrus.
Equipment
- Wine glass or large stemmed glass: Needs to be big enough for ice and garnishes.
- Measuring jigger: For pouring the rosé, liqueur, and soda without guessing.
- Bar spoon: Lets you stir gently so the bubbles don’t disappear.
- Small knife: To slice up some lemon wheels or strawberries for garnish.
- Ice cube tray: Gotta have enough ice to keep it cold.
Ingredients
- 3 oz dry rosé wine
- 1 oz elderflower liqueur like St-Germain, but any works
- 2 oz club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes enough to fill the glass
- Lemon wheel or strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a big wine glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in 3 oz of dry rosé wine.
- Add 1 oz elderflower liqueur.
- Top with 2 oz of club soda or sparkling water.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon—don’t shake, just mix it up lightly.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel or a strawberry slice on the rim.
Notes
Dry rosé is my go-to because sweet rosé can make it a bit much. If I want it lighter, I just add extra soda. For a non-alcoholic version, I swap both the rosé and liqueur with pink lemonade and a splash of elderflower syrup.
Serve it right away for the best fizz and flavor. You can try mint leaves or edible flowers for a different look. If you’re using a different elderflower liqueur, give it a taste first—some are sweeter than others, so you might want to tweak the amount.
