Description
This Sparkling Lavender Mocktail is the perfect floral drink for spring and summer! It's light, refreshing, and it has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. You can use homemade lavender syrup or make it even easier with a store-bought one!
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 oz lavender simple syrup
- 1-2 dashes lavender bitter (optional)
- Sparkling water
- Garnish: a slice of lemon, fresh or dried lavender, a sprig of fresh mint
Instructions
- Fill a double old-fashioned glass with ice.
- Add lemon juice, lavender bitters if using, and stir well with a cocktail spoon. Alternatively, you can also do this in a cocktail shaker and strain over ice.
- Top up the drink with sparkling water and briefly stir to mix.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon, lavender, or mint if desired.
Notes
I mixed everything in the serving glass, but if you want to make sure the lemon juice and syrup are properly mixed, you can shake them with ice in a cocktail shaker instead and strain over ice into your glass.
Pitcher for 6: 6 oz lemon juice, 6 oz lavender simple syrup, 1 tsp lavender bitters, 30-50 oz sparkling water. Stir the lemon juice, syrup, and bitters in a large pitcher until well combined. Add about 1 cup of the sparkling water and stir again well. Add ice and top up with more sparkling water. Serve over ice with more sparkling water if desired.
