Description

This Coconut Lavender Lemonade Mocktail is a refreshing blend of zesty lemon juice, soothing lavender, and sweet coconut water, making it an elegant and easy drink for warm days or special occasions. Perfectly chilled and garnished, it’s a delightful non-alcoholic option for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to help release the lavender’s aroma.
  3. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to steep the lavender.
  4. After 5 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
  5. Strain the lavender infusion through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup, discarding the lavender flowers.
  6. In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey (or agave syrup). Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
  7. Add the coconut water to the pitcher.
  8. Pour in the lavender infusion and stir until well combined.
  9. Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture and adjust the flavor by adding more honey or lemon juice as needed.
  10. Cover the pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  11. Alternatively, add ice cubes directly to the pitcher to chill quickly, but be aware this may dilute the drink.
  12. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
  13. Pour the chilled Coconut Lavender Lemonade over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
  14. Garnish with a fresh sprig of lavender and a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass.
  15. Repeat for additional glasses and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness of the mocktail by varying the amount of honey or agave syrup.
  • For a fizzy version, replace still water with sparkling water or club soda just before serving.
  • Feel free to add slices of fresh fruit or other herbs for creative variations.
