Serving Size

Equipment

Cocktail shaker or large mason jar with lid
Fine-mesh strainer
Measuring cups and spoons
Muddler or wooden spoon
Small saucepan (for lavender syrup)
Juicer or citrus reamer
Tall glasses for serving
Ice cube tray (preferably silicone for easy removal)

Garnish picks or cocktail stirrers

Ingredients

For Lavender Syrup:

1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds

For One Mocktail:

2 oz 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 oz 2 tablespoons lavender syrup
3 oz 6 tablespoons coconut water
1 oz 2 tablespoons coconut cream
Sparkling water to top
Ice cubes
Garnish: Lemon wheel lavender sprig, coconut flakes

Fresh ingredients produce the best results. Use pure coconut water without added sugars for a cleaner taste. The coconut cream adds richness and makes the drink more satisfying than a simple lemonade.

Instructions

Make the lavender syrup: Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Add lavender buds, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain and cool completely.
Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. If using coconut flake garnish, moisten the rim with lemon and dip in coconut flakes.
Mix the mocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine lemon juice, lavender syrup, coconut water, and coconut cream with ice. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.

Assemble: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Top with sparkling water (about 2 oz or to taste).
Garnish: Add a lemon wheel and lavender sprig. Sprinkle additional coconut flakes on top if desired.

Notes

This mocktail keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours without the sparkling water. For a party, prepare the base mixture ahead of time and add ice and sparkling water just before serving.

For a sweeter drink, add more lavender syrup. For a tangier version, increase the lemon juice. The lavender syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Children enjoy this mocktail with less lavender flavor. Simply reduce the syrup to 1/2 oz per serving. Those watching sugar intake can substitute monk fruit sweetener or stevia when making the lavender syrup.

For special occasions, freeze edible flowers or lemon zest in ice cubes to add visual appeal.

Tasting Notes

This mocktail offers a refreshing blend of sweet and tart flavors. The coconut water provides a subtle sweetness that balances the zesty lemon.

Lavender adds a gentle floral note that’s not overpowering. The aroma enhances each sip with a calming scent that complements the other ingredients.

Flavor Profile:

First Taste: Light sweetness from coconut water

Middle Notes: Bright citrus from fresh lemon juice
Finish: Delicate lavender essence

The texture is smooth yet light. Ice keeps it cold and crisp, making it perfect for warm weather enjoyment.

For best results, serve this mocktail very cold. The flavors become more pronounced as the drink sits for a few minutes after mixing.

Children might find it slightly tart, so consider adding a touch more honey for younger palates. Adults may appreciate the complex interplay between the coconut and lavender.

This drink pairs well with light appetizers and seafood dishes. The clean taste also makes it a good palate cleanser between courses.
