Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds (about 6 g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry Prosecco, chilled
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons, 60 ml)
  • Lavender syrup (see above, 1-2 tablespoons per glass)
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Club soda or sparkling water (optional, for topping)
  • Lemon slices or twists (for garnish)
  • Fresh lavender sprigs (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lavender Syrup: Combine dried lavender, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves. Once simmering, reduce heat and steep for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, pressing gently. Discard lavender buds. Cool syrup completely before using.
  3. Juice the Lemons: Roll lemons to loosen juice, cut and squeeze until you have 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds.
  4. Assemble the Sparkler: Fill each glass halfway with chilled Prosecco (2-3 oz per glass). Add 1 tablespoon lavender syrup and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice to each glass. Stir gently.
  5. Top off with more Prosecco, leaving room for a splash of club soda or sparkling water if desired.
  6. Add ice cubes if desired.
  7. Garnish with a lemon slice and a fresh lavender sprig.
  8. Serve immediately for best fizz.

Notes

Use culinary-grade lavender for best flavor. Make syrup ahead for convenience. Adjust syrup and lemon juice to taste. For a mocktail, substitute Prosecco with sparkling grape juice or club soda. Chill all ingredients for maximum refreshment. Garnish boosts aroma and presentation.
