Equipment

  • Champagne flutes
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring jigger
  • Citrus juicer
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

For Lavender Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 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.
  • Add dried lavender to the syrup mixture. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add lavender syrup and fresh lemon juice.
  • Shake for 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into a champagne flute.
  • Top the drink with chilled prosecco.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist or lavender sprig.

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.
