Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Muddler
  • Strainer
  • Tall glasses
  • Ice

Ingredients

For each cocktail, you'll need:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz lavender simple syrup
  • 2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 4 oz club soda
  • Ice
  • Lemon slices and lavender sprigs for garnish

The lavender simple syrup can be made by heating equal parts sugar and water with dried lavender buds. Strain and cool before using.

Instructions

  • Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Add vodka, lavender simple syrup, and lemon juice to the shaker.
  • Shake well for about 15 seconds.
  • Fill a tall glass with ice.
  • Strain the mixture into the glass.
  • Top with club soda and stir gently.
  • Garnish with a lemon slice and lavender sprig.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and add more club soda.

    Notes

    This recipe can be easily scaled up to make a pitcher for parties. Mix the vodka, syrup, and lemon juice ahead of time, but add the club soda just before serving to keep it fizzy.
    For best results, use fresh lemon juice. It tastes much better than bottled juice.
    If you can't find lavender simple syrup, you can use regular simple syrup and add a few drops of food-grade lavender oil.
    Experiment with different types of vodka to find your favorite flavor combination. A citrus-flavored vodka can add an extra zesty kick to the drink.
