A luxurious and refreshing drink with a fizzy, fun twist, combining creamy soda, floral lavender, and zesty lemon for a spa day in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium lemon, freshly squeezed (about 2 tablespoons of juice)
  • 12 tablespoons lavender syrup
  • 1 cup clear soda (e.g., Sprite or club soda)
  • 2 tablespoons half-and-half (or coconut milk/almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • Ice
  • Optional: Sprig of fresh lavender or lemon wedge for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lavender syrup: Combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain out the lavender and let the syrup cool completely.
  2. Juice the lemon: Cut the lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice. You’ll need about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Fill your glass: Add a generous amount of ice to your glass.
  4. Add lavender syrup: Pour 1-2 tablespoons of lavender syrup over the ice. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
  5. Pour in lemon juice: Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to your glass.
  6. Add the soda: Slowly pour in your soda or sparkling water until the glass is about three-quarters full.
  7. Top with half-and-half: Carefully pour 2 tablespoons of half-and-half over the soda.
  8. Mix and garnish: Use a spoon or stirrer to gently mix the drink and add a sprig of lavender or a lemon wedge for garnish, if desired.

Notes

[‘Use crushed ice for a slushy texture.’, ‘Chill your ingredients ahead of time for a colder drink.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by using less lavender syrup or adding more soda.’, ‘Homemade lavender syrup allows you to control sweetness and flavor strength.’, ‘Garnish with a sprig of lavender or a lemon wedge for added aroma and presentation.’]
