Why this recipe works
Doesn’t a lavender spritz sound refreshing and delicious?!
If you like making easy cocktails at home and are looking for products that can be used in multiple ways, this Haus Spritz is for you!
I’m a big fan of Haus aperitifs (especially since they are so great to make Haus Cocktails with). But if you aren’t familiar with the brand, I’ll give you just the highlights.
Haus creates wine-based aperitifs, in a variety of flavors, that can be enjoyed on their own, with some club soda or turned into a cocktail. The ingredients are natural and they don’t add sugar which makes these excellent if you are trying to stick to cleaner ingredients.
They create unique flavor combinations and I’m super obsessed with the Lemon Lavender (not currently available).

The flavors are not in your face and are delicately balanced and complex. And it pairs really well with club soda and sparkling wine.
A spritz is a fun summer (or anytime) cocktail (I mean, who doesn’t love an Aperol Spritz!) so adding some Haus is a great idea.
This Lemon Lavender Spritz is refreshing, fizzy and super easy to make. And even if you don’t have the lavender Haus, you can still make this!
Ingredient Notes
While I use the Lemon Lavender Haus flavor in my spritz, you can use any flavor they offer.
I reach for Spiced Cherry (not currently available) during the winter. And I also really love Bitter Clove (not currently available). It reminds me of bitters (which I love – Bitters and Soda is my jam!).
If you don’t want to use Haus, you can use a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some lavender bitters, lavender simple syrup or lavender tea.
Any sparkling water or club soda will work. While I like a lighter fizz in my Super Skinny Margarita, the bubblier the better in this Lemon Lavender Spritz and you get that with club soda.
I used prosecco to make this spritz but any sparkling wine will work. Champagne, Cava, etc…all good. I love to keep mini bottles on hand to make recipes like this. No use in opening a whole bottle if it might end up going to waste.
You can use dry or sweeter wine depending on what you like. It truly won’t make or break this recipe.
How To Make Champagne Spritz with Haus
Step 1
To a wine glass, add ice.
Step 2
Top with 2 ounces Lemon Lavender Haus.
If not using Haus, add 1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice, a few drops of lavender bitters (you’ll want to taste and adjust these at the end since they can be too bold).
Step 3
Add 1 ounce of club soda.
Step 4
Then finish with 3 ounces prosecco.
Step 5
Give it a gentle stir and taste to see if you need to adjust anything. You may find you would like to add more club soda. And if you are day drinking or drinking these all day on your yacht, you should.
If you need to bring out the lavender flavor you can add a few more dashes of lavender bitters. YUM!
Garnish with a slice of fresh lemon.
Tips and Tricks

- Swap Haus flavors in this recipe to create a bunch of unique spritzes.
- It is best to make these just before drinking. While I like to batch drinks and make them ahead if possible, these are best when served immediately.
