Instructions

Notes

Store the base mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days. The drink tastes best when served very cold.
Add more honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Replace dried lavender with 2 tablespoons of lavender syrup for a quicker preparation.
The recipe works well with English cucumbers, which have fewer seeds.

Tasting Notes

This refreshing mocktail combines the cool taste of fresh cucumber with subtle floral notes of lavender. The first sip brings a crisp, clean sensation from the cucumber.

The lavender adds a gentle sweetness that balances perfectly with the vegetal notes. Its light purple color makes it look as good as it tastes.

A hint of lime provides a bright, citrusy punch that cuts through the mild flavors. The drink stays light and not too sweet.

Key flavor elements:

  • Primary: Fresh cucumber, light and clean
  • Secondary: Floral lavender notes
  • Finish: Bright citrus undertones

The carbonation adds a pleasant fizzy texture that makes each sip fun and refreshing. Perfect for warm spring and summer days.

This drink pairs well with light foods like salads, grilled vegetables, or mild cheeses. It works best served very cold with plenty of ice.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

You can swap ingredients in this recipe while keeping the same refreshing taste. A few easy changes can make this drink match what you have at home.

Replace cucumber with celery or green apple for a similar crisp taste. These options add the same fresh notes to the drink.

Instead of lavender syrup, try other floral syrups like rose or elderflower. You can also use vanilla syrup, which gives a sweet touch without the floral notes.

For the club soda base, use these fizzy options:

You can also switch the lime juice with lemon juice. The drink will taste a bit different but still keeps its tart kick.

If fresh herbs aren’t handy, dried lavender buds work fine. Use 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender for every tablespoon of fresh lavender.

The mint garnish can be replaced with:

  • Basil leaves
  • Rosemary sprigs
  • Edible flowers
  • Cucumber ribbons
  • Lemon wheels
