Wild Botanical Spritz

Fresh, floral and made for warm evenings! Everything a summer glass should be. Light, refreshing and surprisingly simple to put together.

Prep the glass
Using a small brush or the back of a spoon, brush a thin layer of honey or agave on one side of the inside of the glass. Press edible flowers gently onto the honey so they stick. Optional: place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set the flowers in place before building the drink.

Add ice
If not freezing the glass, fill it with ice right after pressing the flowers. This also holds them in place as you build.

Pour the base
Add the Gratsi Rosé Wine slowly over the ice, then pour the elderflower liqueur and lemon juice

Top with soda
Pour the club soda gently down the inside edge of the glass to preserve the bubbles. 

Garnish and serve
Have fun with it! Let the botanicals shine or tuck a lemon round to the side of the glass and rest a sprig of thyme or lavender on top.

The elderflower liqueur is adjustable depending on how floral you want it. Add less for a subtle background note, or add more for a more forward, fragrant flavor. It also adds a touch of sweetness, so the more you add, the less you'll need any additional sweetener. For the garnish, you have options depending on how involved you want to get. For a simpler approach, just float a few edible flowers on top of the drink, no honey needed. Or skip flowers entirely and use a sprig of fresh thyme or lavender rested on the rim for an effortless, clean look that still feels intentional.
