This Lavender Lemonade Cocktail is perfect for Summer. With freshly squeezed lemons and homemade lavender simple syrup, this will be your new favorite cocktail!
This Spring or Summer Cocktail is absolutely delicious and is filled with citrus flavor and floral notes. Vodka paired perfectly with these flavors. I can't imagine a better drink to serve by the pool.
In this recipe, my homemade Lavender Simple Syrup was used to create the perfect cocktail. It is a really simple recipe with water, sugar, and dried culinary lavender. If you have the time, I 100% recommend making it, or you can use a store bought lavender syrup.

Ingredients:
Vodka- Pairs perfectly with lemon flavor because of its neutral taste and ability to take on other flavors.
Freshly Squeezed Lemons- Must have ingredient for Lemonade Cocktails. Freshly squeezing the lemons ensures that you will get amazing taste!
Lavender Simple Syrup- For subtle floral tones and added sweetness. My DIY Lavender syrup is highly recommended for this recipe, but if you don't have time to make it, you can use a store bought Lavender syrup.
French Lemonade or Lemon Perrier- For a little bubbly fizz under your nose & added citrus. I love the extra lemon flavor here. They have some great varieties at World Market.
For another lemonade inspired cocktail, try my Strawberry Lemonade Vodka.

Recipe FAQs:
Yes, another common liquor that pairs well with these flavors is Gin.
Lavender has a strong smell and a really unique floral taste. This recipe uses a lavender simple syrup, where the lavender steeps in the sugar water. When the syrup is diluted with the other flavors, it becomes so subtle, but also delicious.
Homemade lavender syrup actually has a yellow tint. The purple you see sometimes is added from food coloring. You can add a drop of purple in if you would like, just be careful you don't do too much and change the taste.
