Instructions

Lavender Simple Syrup

Combine Ingredients. In a small pot, combine water, sugar, and lavender buds.
¼ cup water, ¼ cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon lavender buds
Heat. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring regularly. When it starts to simmer, remove from heat.
Steep. Leave to steep for 30 minutes until thick and syrupy. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a mason jar. We won't need all the syrup so store it for later use.

Lavender Vodka Lemonade

Mix. Mix vodka, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup in a cocktail shaker. Shake until mixed.
2 oz vodka, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Fill & Pour. Fill your tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cocktail mixture directly from the shaker.
Top off. Pour fizzy lemonade on top. Add garnishes (lemon slices, lavender) & enjoy.

Notes

Hint - If you're serving this lavender cocktail at a large gathering, I suggest preparing the lavender syrup ahead of time. This will take away the stress away from hosting and mean you can spend more quality time with your friends.

Fresh Lemon Juice: For best flavour, use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Chill Ingredients: Ensure the lemonade is chilled and your lavender syrup has cooled down.
Adjust Sweetness: Always adjust this cocktail according to your taste.
Serve & Sip: Don't let the drink stand around for too long or the ice cubes will start diluting it.
