Why Lavender? Because It’s Pure Magic

Bubbles Make Everything Better
We top ours with sparkling water or prosecco — depending on how boozy we feel! The effervescence makes the floral notes pop and adds a refreshing finish.
For an ultra-refreshing sip, try this lavender and lemon fizzy cocktail for summer evenings — it’s our warm-weather go-to.
The Homemade Syrup You’ll Want on Everything
Lavender syrup sounds fancy but is incredibly simple: water, sugar, dried culinary lavender. Once you’ve made it, you’ll want to drizzle it on everything from pancakes to matcha lattes.
This DIY lavender simple syrup for cocktails is a staple in our fridge — and makes this drink totally customizable.
Let’s Talk Balance: Lemon Is Key
Lavender can get too floral if you’re not careful — but the lemon juice keeps things bright and grounded. It gives the drink a lively zing and keeps it from tasting like soap (been there).
Our lemon-lavender gin fizz recipe strikes the perfect balance between fragrant and refreshing.
Sip This on Your Balcony, in Your Bathtub… Anywhere
We’ve made this for brunch, happy hour, even as a low-alcohol dinner party starter. It’s endlessly adaptable — try it with vodka, sparkling rosé, or non-alcoholic gin if that’s your vibe.
This versatile lavender blossom fizz drink fits any moment that needs a little sparkle and serenity.
💡 Tip! 🌸
Use food-grade dried lavender only! Not all lavender is safe (or tasty) for culinary use — look for varieties labeled specifically for cooking.
