• 1/2 oz lemon juice

• 1/2 oz lavender simple syrup*

• 2 strawberries, sliced

• 2 oz of Prosecco

Directions:

1) Muddle sliced strawberries in a cocktail shaker

2) Add all other ingredients, except Prosecco, to the shaker

3) Fill with ice and shake well until chilled

4) Strain into a cocktail glass with ice

5) Top off with Prosecco and garnish with a lemon slice and lavender sprig

* Lavender simple syrup: Add 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 12 lavender syrup to a pot. Steep on low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Let syrup cool before use.

Cheers and enjoy!
