What Is Lavender Syrup?
Lavender syrup, used in many different cocktails, coffees and tea, is an easy sweet mixture that will spruce up any drink you have in mind. You will use this syrup in any lavender spritz recipe you’d like to make, but specifically for this one, you will use just about 3/4 of an oz. This syrup can be made right from the comfort of your home and only consists of 3 simple ingredients. Dried Lavender (which you can buy at a local grocery store or right on Amazon), water and sugar. Add equal parts for all 3, bring to a boil until the sugar is completely dissolved, and the lavender spreads throughout the liquid forming a beautiful purple color. Take off the heat, let cool down for a few minutes and strain into a bottle. Cover and refrigerate.
Fresh Blueberries VS. Blueberry Simple Syrup
For this specific recipe, you want to use fresh blueberries. Seeing we are already using the Lavender Simple Syrup, which contains sugar in it, you will not want to use a blueberry syrup as this will make the drink way too sweet! The Lavender Syrup will give the drink the exact amount of Lavender taste as well as sweetness. The blueberries will keep the drink authentic and tasting of sweet and serene fresh blueberries.

What Kind Of Prosecco To Use?
I have a few different brands that I love to use for all my prosecco drinks, but it all comes down to quality. โYou get what you pay forโ is the saying I believe. Although there are some brands on the shelf that arenโt too expensive and still fantastic, be careful going straight for the least expensive one. This may lead you down the path of a rough morning after with a blinding headache! Of course all depending on how much you consume! A few of the brands I do love, are inexpensive and think taste fantastic for this easy spritz recipe are:
La Marca Prosecco
Mionetto Prosecco
Ruffino Prosecco
