Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Champagne flute or wine glass
  • Measuring jigger
  • Small saucepan
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

For Lavender Syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

For Each Cocktail:

  • 1 oz lavender syrup
  • 2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 3 oz prosecco
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh lavender sprig for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the lavender syrup first. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add dried lavender and simmer for 5 minutes. Then, remove from heat and let it steep for 30 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer. Let it cool completely.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Then, add lavender syrup and lemon juice. Shake for 15 seconds.
  • Strain the mixture into a champagne flute and top with chilled prosecco.
  • Finally, garnish with a fresh lavender sprig.

Notes

The lavender syrup keeps for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Use only culinary lavender, as ornamental varieties can taste bitter.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace prosecco with sparkling water.
Keep prosecco chilled until ready to use for the best bubbles.
