Light, floral, and just the right amount of fizzy—this Lavender Lemonade Spritz is the perfect sip for spring parties, garden brunches, or any moment that needs a refreshing, Instagrammable twist. 🍋✨

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups fresh lemon juice (the juice of about 12 lemons)
  • Titos Vodka (or your preferred Vodka)
  • Seltzer water

Directions:

  1. Make Lavender Simple Syrup: Add sugar to a bowl. Mash the lavender leaves into the sugar with the back of a spoon.  Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then pour water over sugar and stir to combine.  Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  2. Make Lemonade: Strain syrup into a large glass pitcher. Add 2 cups of water and the lemon juice to the pitcher.  Mix well.  Chill for at least 2 hours. 
  3. Make Lavender Lemonade Mocktail: Fill a tall glass with ice.  Fill the glass with lavender lemonade and top with seltzer. Garnish with lavender sprig and a slice of lemon.
  4. Make Lavender Lemonade Cocktail: Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour 2 ounces of vodka over ice. Fill with lavender lemonade and top with seltzer water. Garnish with lavender sprig and slice of lemon.
