Lilac season is short, which is exactly why I'm making this beautiful lilac spritz on repeat.

Made with homemade lilac simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and sparkling water, it's lightly floral, refreshing, and tastes like early summer in a glass. Add a splash of gin or vodka for an easy cocktail, or keep it alcohol-free for the prettiest mocktail of the season.
