Lavender Spritz

Jump to Recipe

You know those days when everything feels a little too loud, a little too fast, and all you want is five minutes to yourself with something chilled and lovely in hand? That’s exactly what the Lavender Spritz was made for.

This cocktail is floral, fizzy, and impossibly pretty.

But more than that, it’s easy.

No shaker. No fancy garnish prep. Just a few thoughtful ingredients built right in the glass and suddenly, you’ve created a little pocket of peace in your day.

Crème de Violette is where the magic starts. Just a splash gives the drink its signature lavender hue and a soft floral note that’s subtly sweet and totally mesmerizing.

It’s the kind of flavor that lingers on the nose and tongue. Delicate, slightly mysterious, and perfectly balanced.

Next comes the lavender simple syrup. Think of it as the calm in the mix: soothing, light, and softly sweet, it brings out the floral notes of the violette without turning the drink into perfume. It’s there to support, not steal the show.

Then you top it all with chilled Prosecco, and everything changes.

The bubbles brighten the whole profile, keeping the florals from feeling too soft or too sweet. It’s crisp, lightly dry, and lifts the entire cocktail into something celebratory, even if you’re just sipping solo with the windows open and your phone on silent.

Garnish is totally optional, but a sprig of lavender gives the glass a little glow-up. Still, the real beauty of this cocktail is how good it is without the extras.

Step 1: Fill a stem glass with ice.

Step 2: Pour in Crème de Violette and lavender simple syrup.

Step 3: Top off with Prosecco and stir gently to combine ingredients.

The Lavender Spritz is ideal for those low-key afternoons that need a little brightness. For when you want to treat yourself without making a whole event of it. For when calm feels like the goal, but elegance wouldn’t hurt either.
