🌸 Spring Citrus Elderflower Spritz Recipe

Leave a comment

Spring is the perfect excuse to trade in heavy, cozy drinks for something light, fresh, and a little playful. As the days get longer and everything starts blooming, a cocktail that reflects that energy just feels right. This one is bright, citrusy, slightly floral, and incredibly easy to make—ideal for a sunny afternoon or a relaxed evening outside.

🌸 Spring Citrus Elderflower Spritz

This cocktail leans into delicate floral notes with a refreshing citrus kick. It’s crisp without being too sharp, and just sweet enough to feel indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz gin
  • 1 oz elderflower liqueur (like St-Germain)
  • 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2–3 oz sparkling water or prosecco
  • Ice
  • Grapefruit slice + fresh mint (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Fill a glass with ice.
  2. Add gin, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit juice, and lemon juice.
  3. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Top with sparkling water for a lighter drink, or prosecco if you want something a bit more celebratory.
  5. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and a sprig of mint.

Why it works

The elderflower brings a soft floral sweetness that screams spring, while the grapefruit and lemon keep things bright and refreshing. The bubbles add just the right amount of lift, making it feel festive without being heavy.

Make it your own

  • Prefer it sweeter? Add a splash of simple syrup or honey.
  • Want it stronger? Skip the sparkling water and go all-in with prosecco.
  • Not a gin fan? Vodka works just as well for a cleaner, more neutral base.

Whether you’re hosting brunch, having a picnic, or just unwinding after a long day, this cocktail fits the mood perfectly—fresh, vibrant, and a little bit fancy without trying too hard. 🍹
