Ingredients
Scale
Lavender Syrup (Homemade Option):
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
Lavender Syrup (Quick Option):
- 1/2 cup Torani Lavender Syrup or another store-bought lavender syrup
Mocktail:
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
- 1/2 cup lavender syrup (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 cups sparkling water or club soda
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Lavender Syrup (Skip if Using Store-Bought): Combine water, sugar, and dried lavender in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture simmer gently for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat and steep for 5 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a jar, discarding the lavender. Allow it to cool completely before use.
- Assemble the Mocktail: In a large pitcher, add the fresh mint leaves and gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their aroma and flavor. Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and prepared lavender syrup. Add ice cubes either to the pitcher or directly into individual glasses. Pour in the sparkling water or club soda gently and stir just enough to combine, maintaining the bubbles.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the mocktail into glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint, a slice of lime, and optionally some edible flowers for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and fizz at their best.
Notes
- For convenience, use store-bought lavender syrup like Torani to save time without sacrificing flavor.
- Be gentle when stirring after adding sparkling water to preserve the fizz.
- Fresh mint is key for authentic mojito flavor—avoid dried mint.
- Edit garnish with edible flowers for an elegant touch but ensure they are food-safe.
- This mocktail is perfect for summer parties, bridal showers, or baby showers.
