Nutritional Benefits

This Mango Lavender Dream isn’t just beautiful — it also offers some lovely wellness benefits:

• Mango: Rich in vitamin C, beta carotene, and fiber.
• Lavender: Known for its calming, stress-reducing properties.
• Lemon juice: Boosts vitamin C and aids digestion.
• Sparkling water: Keeps the drink light and hydrating.

And since it’s naturally refined sugar-free (depending on your lavender syrup), it’s a lighter choice for your next happy hour.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

This drink is best made fresh, but you can prep parts ahead:

• Mango purée: Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Lavender syrup: Make or buy and keep chilled for up to 2 weeks.

When ready to serve, just mix and top with sparkling water and ice.

Tip: If making a pitcher for a party, combine mango, lavender, and lemon first, then top with sparkling water and ice just before serving to keep it fizzy.

Flavor Variations

Want to customize your Mango Lavender Dream? Here are a few fun twists:

1. Add More Fruit

• A splash of pineapple juice for extra tropical flair.
• Peach purée instead of mango for a softer flavor.
• A few muddled berries for added color and complexity.

2. Play with the Sparkle

• Use lemon or berry-flavored sparkling water.
• For a creamy vibe, add a splash of coconut milk or oat milk (makes it almost like a mango lassi!).

4. Gorgeous Garnishes

• Rim the glass with lavender sugar.
• Add a lemon wheel or twist for brightness.
• Top with tiny lavender sprigs for more aroma.

FAQs
