Lavender Lemonade Spritz Mix (Printable)

A floral, zesty blend combining lavender syrup, fresh lemonade, and sparkling bubbly for a refreshing summer drink.

# What You'll Need:

→ Lavender Syrup

01 - 1/2 cup water
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender

→ Lemonade

04 - 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 4 lemons)
05 - 1/2 cup cold water
06 - 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup

→ For Serving

07 - 1 cup ice cubes
08 - 1 1/2 cups chilled sparkling wine or prosecco
09 - Lemon slices for garnish
10 - Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish

# How To Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and dried culinary lavender. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain through fine mesh to remove lavender solids and let syrup cool to room temperature.
02 - In a pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water, and honey or agave syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and sweetener is dissolved.
03 - Fill four glasses with ice cubes. Add 2 tablespoons of cooled lavender syrup and 1/4 cup lemonade to each glass.
04 - Pour approximately 1/3 cup chilled sparkling wine or prosecco into each glass. Stir gently to combine all components without over-mixing.
05 - Garnish each glass with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs. Serve immediately while chilled.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours on it, but your actual hands-on time is laughably short.
  • The lavender syrup keeps for days, so you can impress people on a whim without the fuss.
  • It's sophisticated enough for dinner guests yet casual enough to sip alone on a Tuesday evening.
02 -
  • If your syrup tastes too strong, water it down—you can always add more lemonade or sparkling water, but you can't take the flavor back out.
  • Culinary lavender and craft lavender are completely different worlds, and using the wrong one tastes like you're drinking a scented candle.
03 -
  • Freeze lemon slices in advance so your garnish keeps the drink cold without diluting it as regular ice would.
  • If you're serving a crowd, make the syrup and lemonade base ahead, then let people top their own glasses with sparkling wine so everyone gets it exactly how they like it.
