🌸 Limoncello Lavender Spritz: sunshine in a glass, with a floral twist
If spring had a scent, it would probably smell like lavender under the sun and freshly squeezed lemon. That’s exactly what this Limoncello Lavender Spritz delivers: a floral, sun-kissed bubble of sweetness — perfect for toasting to the warmer days ahead. It’s light, fizzy, and tastes like a vacation in a glass.
This cocktail is the kind of drink that makes you want to kick back on a lounge chair, sunglasses on, toes in the grass. The Limoncello brings that bright, sweet lemon punch, the lavender adds a chic and fragrant twist, and the sparkling water ties it all together with crisp freshness. Add a few ice cubes, a lemon slice, and you’ve got yourself an elegant, refreshing, and totally irresistible cocktail.
It’s the perfect drink for an impromptu patio happy hour, to impress your mother-in-law at Easter brunch, or just to treat yourself on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a fancy snack. No need to be a mixologist — it’s super simple, but seriously impressive.
So grab your gin glasses or champagne flutes, prep that lavender syrup, slice a juicy lemon, and remember — no matter the weather, spring starts right here. Cheers!

🌸 Go easy on the lavender
Lavender is aromatic—less is more to avoid overpowering the drink.
Use a homemade infused syrup or a high-quality store-bought version (like this one here).
🍋 Choose a great Limoncello
Go for an artisanal Limoncello or one with a bright, natural lemon flavor—not overly sweet.
Keep it in the freezer—it’ll be nicely chilled and thicker when served.
🥂 Pick the right Prosecco
Opt for a dry Prosecco to balance the sweetness of the lavender syrup.
Pour it gently at the end to preserve those lovely bubbles.
🧊 Use large ice cubes
They melt slower = less dilution = a more flavorful spritz.
🌿 Add a show-stopping garnish
Top with a sprig of fresh lavender or a twist of lemon peel for a wow effect.

Preparation
- Pour all ingredients into a glass filled with ice cubes.
- Stir with a bar spoon and serve.
Yes! For a non-alcoholic version, replace the Limoncello with freshly squeezed lemon juice (in smaller quantity) mixed with simple syrup. You can also swap it for a lemony gin if you’re looking for a stronger twist.
It’s easy:
- Bring 1 cup (250 ml) of water, 1 cup (200 g) of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of dried lavender flowers to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, remove from heat, and let it steep for 15 minutes. Strain and refrigerate.
Not really. It’s best prepared on the spot to keep the Prosecco bubbly. However, you can prep the syrup in advance and keep your Limoncello chilled in the freezer.
