How to Make Lavender Lime Mint Mocktails
Step 1: Make the Lavender Syrup (Skip if using store-bought)
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and dried lavender.
Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Simmer gently for a few minutes, then remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a jar or bottle. Cool completely before using.
Step 2: Muddle and Mix
In a large pitcher, add fresh mint leaves and muddle gently with a spoon.
Add lime juice and lavender syrup. Stir to combine.
Fill the pitcher with ice, then pour in the sparkling water or club soda.
Stir gently to keep the fizz intact.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
Pour the mocktail into individual glasses over fresh ice.
Top with mint sprigs, lime slices, and edible flowers for a fresh and elegant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy the floral-citrus bliss!
What to Serve It With
Cucumber sandwiches or savory tartlets
Lemon lavender shortbread cookies
Grilled chicken or herbed tofu skewers
Fresh fruit salad with mint
Cheese boards with goat cheese, berries, and nuts
Variations / Substitutions
Make it sweeter – Add extra lavender syrup or a splash of honey.
Add berries – Muddle raspberries or blueberries with the mint.
Use lemon juice – For a citrus variation with a different tang.
Turn it into a cocktail – Add a shot of gin or vodka if you’d like an adult twist.
Try other herbs – Basil or rosemary can sub in for mint for a new flavor profile.
Storage & Leftovers
Lavender syrup can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for 1–2 weeks.
Pre-mixed mocktail is best served fresh, but you can mix the syrup, lime, and mint a few hours early.
Don’t add sparkling water until serving to preserve carbonation.
Leftover mint? Freeze in ice cube trays with water for later use in drinks.
