Vodka Lemon Spritz with Dehydrated Lemon Garnish

Light, fizzy, and party-ready at scale. The dried lemon garnish floats beautifully in the glass — batch these for 20 without a single fresh lemon to prep.

The Vodka Lemon Spritz is the cocktail you make when you want something light, fizzy, and effortlessly elegant — perfect for afternoon gatherings, rooftop parties, or any occasion where you want a drink that’s refreshing without being heavy. It’s also one of the easiest cocktails to batch for a crowd, which is exactly where Citrus House dehydrated lemon slices become indispensable. Instead of slicing and prepping dozens of lemons, you just drop a dried lemon garnish into each glass. It floats on the prosecco bubbles, catching the light and releasing a gentle lemon fragrance. Each dried lemon slice is cut from whole lemons and slowly dehydrated to preserve the bright yellow color and zesty aroma — no browning, no seeds, no waste.

Ingredients

45ml Vodka
15ml Elderflower liqueur
Top Prosecco or soda

Tips & Technique

The Vodka Lemon Spritz is built in the glass — no shaker required. Start with a large wine glass (the kind you’d use for a spritz or an Aperol serve) and fill it with ice. Pour in 45ml of vodka and 15ml of elderflower liqueur (St-Germain is the most popular choice, but any quality elderflower liqueur works). Top with prosecco for a more celebratory version, or soda water for a lighter serve. Give it one gentle stir to integrate. Now float a Citrus House dried lemon slice on top. The dehydrated lemon garnish sits beautifully on the bubbles, slowly releasing natural lemon oils that complement the elderflower’s floral sweetness. For a party of 20, you can batch the vodka and elderflower in a pitcher, pour over ice, top with prosecco, and garnish each glass in seconds with a dried lemon slice. That’s the power of dehydrated garnishes — consistency and beauty at any scale.
