Equipment
- blender
- Fine mesh strainer
- pitcher
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 1 cup light coconut milk or coconut water
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup lavender syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar plus more to taste
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice for serving
Optional garnishes:
- Lemon slices
- Fresh mint
- Culinary lavender sprigs
- Edible flowers
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk or coconut water, fresh lemon juice, lavender syrup, honey, and cold water to a blender.
- Blend for 20 to 30 seconds, until the mixture looks smooth and fully combined.
- Taste and adjust. Add more honey for sweetness, more lemon juice for tartness, or more cold water if the flavor is too strong.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher if you want a smoother finish.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the lavender lemonade mocktail over the top.
- Garnish with lemon slices, mint, lavender, or edible flowers and serve cold.
Notes
- For a sparkling mocktail, use only 1 cup cold water in the blender, then stir in 1 cup sparkling water right before serving.
- For a thicker smoothie-style drink, blend the mocktail with 2 cups of ice until slushy.
- If using coconut milk, choose light coconut milk for a smooth drink that doesn’t feel too heavy.
- If using coconut water, the mocktail will taste lighter, brighter, and more refreshing.
- Store leftovers in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
