Ingredients

2 cups water
1/2 cup fresh or dried culinary lavender

1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice about 6-8 lemons
6 oz premium vodka
Club soda
Ice cubes
Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish
Lemon wheels for garnish

Instructions

Make the lavender simple syrup first.

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Add lavender to the syrup. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer. Let cool completely.

Fill a pitcher with 1 cup lavender syrup, lemon juice, and vodka. Stir well.
Pour the mixture into highball glasses filled with ice. Top with club soda.
Garnish each glass with a lavender sprig and lemon wheel.

Notes

Store extra lavender syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

The drink can be made non-alcoholic by skipping the vodka.

Fresh lavender works best, but dried culinary lavender is a good substitute.

This recipe serves 4-6 people and can be doubled for larger groups.

Pre-mix the lavender syrup and lemon juice ahead of time for faster service.

Tasting Notes

This refreshing cocktail brings a perfect blend of sweet and tart flavors. The fresh lavender adds a gentle floral note that pairs well with the bright citrus taste of fresh lemons.

The drink starts with a sweet aroma of lavender. Each sip delivers a crisp, cooling sensation from the ice-cold lemonade mixed with premium vodka.

Primary Flavors:

Sweet lavender
Fresh lemon
Light honey notes
Clean vodka finish

The texture is smooth and light, with tiny bubbles from the sparkling water creating a pleasant fizz on the tongue.

The drink leaves a subtle floral aftertaste that doesn’t overpower.

A light purple hue makes this cocktail visually appealing. The garnish of fresh lavender sprigs and lemon wheels adds both beauty and extra aromatics to each glass.

This drink works best when served very cold. The flavors become more balanced as the ice slowly melts, making it perfect for slow sipping on warm days.
