Scale
Drink Ingredients
- 2 ounces (60 ml) gin or vodka
- 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- ½ ounce (15 ml) lavender syrup
- 4–6 ounces (120–180 ml) club soda
- 2–3 drops food coloring (optional)
- Lemon slice, for garnish
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Chill the glass: Fill a tall glass halfway with clear, pure ice cubes to chill it without diluting the drink quickly, maintaining the ideal temperature as you prepare the cocktail.
- Mix the base: Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) gin or vodka, 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lemon juice, and ½ ounce (15 ml) lavender syrup into the glass over the ice. If desired, add 2-3 drops of food coloring to achieve a beautiful lavender hue. Stir gently but thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Add club soda: Slowly top the mixture with 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 ml) of club soda, pouring carefully to keep the carbonation intact and avoid spillage. Adjust the amount of soda depending on whether you prefer a lighter or stronger drink.
- Garnish and serve: Finish off your Lavender Haze Drink by adding a lemon slice or a few edible flowers on top, enhancing both aroma and visual appeal before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright and balanced flavor.
- Adjust the lavender syrup amount to your preferred sweetness and floral intensity.
- Food coloring is optional to create an attractive lavender color but does not affect taste.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh fizz of the club soda.
- To make it non-alcoholic, substitute the gin or vodka with extra club soda or a lemon-flavored sparkling water.
