Equipment

Large pitcher or mixing glass

Ingredients

2 cups water
1/2 cup dried culinary lavender
1/2 cup honey or sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice about 6-8 lemons

4 cups sparkling water
Ice cubes
Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish
Lemon wheels for garnish

Instructions

First, make the lavender syrup. Add water, dried lavender, and honey to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and let cool completely.

Fill glasses with ice cubes.
Then, pour 2 tablespoons of lavender syrup and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into each glass.
Top each glass with sparkling water and stir gently with a spoon.

The ratio should be about 1 part syrup, 1 part lemon juice, and 4 parts sparkling water.
Finally, garnish with a fresh lavender sprig and lemon wheel.

Notes

The lavender syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

For a stronger lavender flavor, steep the syrup longer. For a milder taste, reduce steeping time to 10 minutes.

Make sure to use culinary lavender, not decorative or fragrance varieties.

To make this drink sweeter, add more lavender syrup. For a tarter taste, increase the lemon juice.

Tasting Notes

This refreshing mocktail offers a bright, zesty flavor profile. The lavender brings subtle floral notes that blend smoothly with the crisp, citrusy lemon.

The bubbles from the sparkling water create a light, effervescent texture. Each sip starts with the gentle aroma of lavender and ends with a clean, tart finish.

The sweetness level is mild and balanced. Natural lavender syrup provides just enough sweetness without overpowering the drink’s core flavors.

Key Flavor Notes:

Primary: Fresh lemon, floral lavender
Secondary: Light honey sweetness
Finish: Clean, bubbly, slightly tart

The drink’s pale purple color and fizzy nature make it visually appealing. Small lavender buds and lemon wheels floating on top add extra charm to the presentation.

Temperature affects the taste experience. Serve this spritz very cold (35-40°F) for the best flavor and maximum bubbles.
