Lavender Lemonade Spritz (Printable)

A floral blend of lavender syrup, lemon juice, and sparkling wine for a light 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 Steps:

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