Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 8 ounces sparkling water (chilled)
- Lemon slices (optional garnish)
- Fresh or dried lavender stem (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Fill the glass with ice: Fill the glass about two-thirds full with ice, or adjust according to your preference to keep the drink cold.
- Add lavender syrup and lemon juice: Pour 2 tablespoons of lavender simple syrup into the glass, then add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice right after it.
- Top with sparkling water: Gently top off the mixture with 8 ounces of chilled sparkling water to add effervescence and lighten the drink.
- Stir and garnish: Gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors evenly, then garnish with lemon slices and a fresh or dried lavender stem if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mocktail.
Notes
- You can prepare lavender simple syrup at home by simmering equal parts water and sugar with dried lavender flowers, then straining once cooled.
- Adjust the lemon juice and syrup ratio to your taste preference for more tartness or sweetness.
- This mocktail is best served immediately to maintain the fizz of the sparkling water.
- For a fun twist, try using flavored sparkling water or adding a splash of club soda.
