Lavender Lemon Sparkler Cocktail

Refreshing Lavender Lemon Sparkler Cocktail. Real lavender flower buds and lemon zest infused simple syrup make this Lavender Lemon Sparkler Cocktail. Mixed with vodka, honey and soda water.

As I strive to be more creative in the kitchen, it’s fun to experiment with new methods and ingredients. This has lead to Olia and I trying canning. The official kind with plenty of jars, pectin, and sterilizing everything. It’s a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. Expect to see some recipes popping up here on the blog related to this. But that’s for another day, today we’re here for a Lavender Lemon Sparkler Cocktail.

Since I’ve also been making my Homemade tonic water, there’s plenty of spices, seeds and pods stocked in the pantry as well. Lavender flower buds are the newest addition. They’re surprisingly affordable, even for a large bag of organic. The smell is heavenly and reminds me of fresh summer days. Cooking them with a bit of sugar, water and lemon zest creates a unique lavender simple syrup perfect for cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks.

Create the lavender simple syrup ahead of time make this recipe even easier. Store it in the fridge, then simply mix with fresh lemon juice, honey, vodka and sparkling water. This lavender lemon sparkler is ready in minutes, giving you more time to socialize with friends and family at your summer gatherings.

Enjoy this Lavender Lemon Sparkler Cocktail with cheesy appetizers such as Steak Bruschetta, or even with a smoky Pork Satay Skewers for a satisfying contrast to the cocktails.
