Spring in A Cocktail Cup: Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade

Spring brings new life after a long winter, filling the world with vibrant colors, sweet smells, and fresh flavors. It’s a time to embrace new beginnings and celebrate the beauty of the natural world.

Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade, The Taste of Spring

One way to celebrate spring is by indulging in a refreshing and flavorful cocktail. The Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade is a perfect choice for the season. It’s a delightful and invigorating drink that combines the sweetness of honey, the floral notes of lavender, and the tanginess of lemon. The addition of sparkling water adds a fizzy effervescence that makes this drink a perfect refresher on a warm spring day.

This cocktail is not only delicious but also has a host of health benefits. Lavender is known for its calming properties and can help reduce stress and anxiety. Honey is a natural sweetener that contains antioxidants and has antibacterial properties. Lemons are a good source of vitamin C, which can boost the immune system and promote healthy skin.

Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade Needs High-Quality Ingredients 

To create the perfect Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade, you’ll need to start with high-quality ingredients. Choose a good quality honey, freshly squeezed lemons, and dried lavender buds. To create the lavender honey syrup, heat the honey, water, and lavender in a saucepan. Heat until the honey has dissolved and the lavender has infused into the syrup. This process will take around 10-15 minutes, and the syrup can be stored in a bottle or jar for up to a week.

To make the lemonade, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the lavender honey syrup in a large pitcher. Next, stir until the mixture is well combined, and then add the sparkling water. Stir gently to combine, and you’re ready to serve.

A Versatile Drink

You can enjoy the Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade drink on its own or as a base for a cocktail. It pairs well with gin or vodka, and you can add fresh herbs like mint or basil to give it an extra burst of flavor. Use it as a base for a variety of cocktails to create your own signature drink.

When it comes to serving, the Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade is a showstopper. Serve it in a tall glass filled with ice and garnish with a lemon wedge and fresh lavender sprigs. The combination of the colors and flavors will make your guests feel like they’re sipping on a drink straight out of a spring garden.

The Sparkling Honey Lavender Lemonade is the perfect drink to celebrate the arrival of spring. The sweet and tangy flavors, combined with the floral notes of lavender, create a refreshing and invigorating drink that everyone can enjoy. Whether you’re relaxing on a sunny afternoon or hosting a springtime party, this drink is sure to impress. So grab your favorite cocktail glass and raise a toast to the beauty of spring. Cheers!

• 4 12 oz Cocktail Glasses

Ingredients

  

For The Honey Lemon Syrup

• 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
• 2/3 cup Wildflower Honey

For The Vodka Lemonade

• 8 oz Honey Lemon Syrup
• 3 tsp Culinary Lavender

Instructions

 

Making The Honey Lemon Syrup

• Add the honey & lemon juice into a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Stir until the honey has dissolved, and the moisture has evaporated and it becomes a syrup, about 5 minutes.

Making The Cocktails

• Allow the Honey Lemon Syrup to cool a little, then add the lavender & lemon slices and mix together and allow to sit so that the lavender buds can release their flavour.
• Strain and pour in the vodka (mixture should be completely cool, as heat burns alcohol off) and stir to combine. Add in the purple food coloring drop by drop until the mixture has a pleaseing purple color (deep or light, its your choice!).
• Measure out the mixture evenly between the 4 cocktail glasses with ice, (there should be one lemon slice per glass), top up with the seltzer water or club soda and serve.
