Make this beautiful, non-alcoholic floral drink using culinary lavender and honey for a spa-like experience perfect for your next spring garden party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chilled sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh lavender sprigs, for garnish
  • Lemon wheels, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the lavender simple syrup: Combine the water, sugar, dried lavender buds, and honey in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and honey dissolve completely. Do not boil.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and let the lavender steep for 30 minutes. This step builds the flavor for your botanical drink ideas.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar, pressing lightly on the lavender buds to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids. Let the syrup cool completely.
  5. To assemble the lavender mocktail recipe, fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
  6. Pour 2 tablespoons of the cooled lavender simple syrup into each glass.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to each glass.
  8. Top each glass with chilled sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine.
  9. Garnish each drink with a fresh lavender sprig and a lemon wheel for an aesthetic drink garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can make the lavender simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • For a deeper purple hue, use a small amount of natural purple food coloring, though the natural color from the lavender is usually sufficient.
  • If you do not have dried culinary lavender, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of fresh lavender, but steep for only 20 minutes.
