Serving Size

Equipment

Cocktail shaker or a large jar with a tight lid
Fine-mesh strainer
Measuring cup and spoons
long spoon or stirrer
Citrus juicer (manual or electric)
Small saucepan (for homemade lavender syrup)

Serving glasses (I love clear ones to show off the color)
Ice cubes

Ingredients

1 cup aloe vera juice unsweetened
3 tablespoons lavender syrup store-bought or homemade
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 cup cold sparkling water
Ice cubes
Lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs for garnish optional

Instructions

If you’re making your own lavender syrup, combine water, sugar, and lavender buds in a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool. Strain out the flowers.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Add aloe vera juice, lavender syrup, and lemon juice.
Secure the lid and shake well for about 15 seconds.

Strain the mixture into serving glasses filled with fresh ice.
Top with cold sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.
Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of lavender if you’re feeling fancy.

Notes

Just a heads-up: I make sure to use only culinary-grade dried lavender so the taste is pleasant and totally safe. Over-steeping lavender can make things bitter, so I try to keep an eye on the clock. If I’m out of fresh lemons, bottled lemon juice will do, but honestly, fresh juice really brightens the drink.

Aloe vera juice can be a bit thicker sometimes, so I shake it well to blend everything. This mocktail is best served nice and cold—warm ingredients just aren’t as refreshing. If I want it lighter, I just add more sparkling water.

This recipe is a breeze to double if you’re serving a crowd. Sometimes I switch up the garnish—edible flowers or a twist of lemon peel look great, too.

Tasting Notes

The first thing that hits me is the soft floral aroma from the lavender. It’s got a gentle scent before you even take a sip.

When I taste it, the aloe vera brings a clean, mild flavor. It’s smooth and refreshing, not overly sweet.

The texture is light. There’s a slight silkiness from the aloe vera, and it helps the flavors come together nicely.

I really like the hint of lemon—it brings a crisp finish and balances the floral notes, but it doesn’t make the drink sour or sharp.

If you enjoy floral and smooth drinks, this combo stands out for its freshness. Worth a try if you ask me.

Substitute

Sometimes, I just don’t have every single ingredient for my Lavender Aloe Vera Drink Mocktail.

On those days, I like to get a little creative with substitutions—keeps things interesting, honestly.

Common substitute options:

If lavender syrup is missing from the pantry, I’ll grab honey or simple syrup and toss in a drop or two of food-grade lavender extract. Not exactly the same, but it works.

No aloe vera juice? Coconut water or even clear grape juice can step in without much fuss.
Out of lime juice? Lemon juice gets the job done in a pinch.

Equipment:

Ingredients:

Substitute lavender syrup or honey

Substitute aloe vera juice or coconut water
Substitute lime juice or lemon juice
Club soda or sparkling water

Instructions:

Pour syrup, juice substitutes, and citrus into the mixing glass.
Give it a good stir to blend everything together.
Fill a tall glass with ice.

Pour the mixture right over the ice.
Top off with club soda or sparkling water, then stir gently. That’s about it.
