Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a lid
- Strainer for filtering out ice and petals
- Bar spoon: for stirring.
- Measuring jigger for precise pours
- Serving glasses: I like using stemmed glasses for a classy touch!
Ingredients
I'll walk you through the simple yet delicious ingredients needed for this spritz:
- 2 oz rose vodka
- 1 oz elderflower liqueur
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 2 oz chilled prosecco
- Rose petals preferably organic and unsprayed

These ingredients combine to create a refreshing drink with delicate flavors. Make sure the rose petals are safe for consumption before using them.
Instructions
Here's how to mix things up:
- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add rose vodka, elderflower liqueur, and lemon juice.
- Shake well until chilled. This should take about 15-20 seconds.
- Strain into your serving glass over fresh ice.
- Top off with prosecco and a splash of soda, if using.
- Finish your masterpiece by garnishing with a few rose petals.
Sip and enjoy the floral aroma that complements the light, sparkling taste!
Notes
Feel free to make this drink your own by experimenting. You can try substituting the prosecco with a sparkling grape juice for a non-alcoholic version.
When garnishing, lightly rinse the rose petals to ensure they're clean and fresh. The subtle fragrance from the petals will enhance the drinking experience. 🌹✨
