When I’m craving a refreshing and beautiful drink, I end up making a Lavender Peach Mocktail at home. This mocktail blends sweet peach and floral lavender for a crisp, non-alcoholic drink everyone can enjoy.
It’s perfect for summer parties, relaxing evenings, or honestly, any time I want something special without alcohol. With just a handful of ingredients and a few easy steps, I can whip up a drink that actually looks and tastes pretty impressive.
I love how the fresh flavors pop together, and it’s always fun to share this recipe with friends and family. There’s just something about a homemade mocktail that feels a little extra.

Tasting Notes
First sip? There’s a light floral note from the lavender—gentle, not too much. The peach flavor is fresh and sweet, coming through naturally.
I get the sweetness up front, then a little tartness from the lemon juice. The sparkling water brings a crisp, fizzy texture that keeps the drink light and refreshing.
As I bring the glass close, there’s this subtle aroma—peach and lavender blending together. Makes each sip a little more inviting, honestly.
The aftertaste is subtle—mostly peach, with a hint of lavender. No bitterness, no weird harshness.
I think this mocktail goes really well with light snacks or a fruit platter. Feels right for any time of day, honestly. Why not?
Substitute
Sometimes I run out of lavender syrup, or just want to mix things up with a different flavor.
Here are some swaps I actually use:
- Lavender Syrup:
- Rose syrup for a floral twist.
- Vanilla syrup if I’m after sweetness but not the flower thing.
- Honey syrup—it’s got that mellow, natural vibe.
- Peach Juice:
- Apricot nectar is surprisingly close in flavor.
- Mango juice—tropical, a bit unexpected, but honestly good.
- Pear juice if I want something lighter and less bold.
No club soda? I just grab sparkling water, or even tonic if that’s all I’ve got. It works.
Peach garnish is easy to replace. I usually go with:
- Sliced plums—underrated, honestly.
- Fresh strawberries, because who doesn’t like them?
- Edible flowers if I’m feeling fancy or want more color.
For guests avoiding sugar, I’ll use sugar-free syrups, or sometimes I just infuse water with dried lavender. It’s subtle but nice.
If I’m out of lemons, I use lime or orange juice. It definitely changes the flavor, but it still feels fresh and bright enough for me.
