Ultimate Limoncello Lavender Mocktail Recipe

Ultimate Limoncello Lavender Mocktail Recipe

The flavors of Italian limoncello meet calming lavender and sparkling bubbles for a drink that’s vibrant, refreshing, and just a little luxurious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup lemonade — Fresh or high-quality store-bought lemonade works great.
  • 1 tablespoon lavender syrup — You can buy it or make your own (recipe below).
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest — Adds intense citrus aroma and visual flair.
  • ½ cup sparkling water — Use fine-bubbled sparkling water for the best mouthfeel.
  • Ice cubes — Essential for a perfectly chilled, layered drink.
  • Fresh lavender sprig — For garnish and enhanced aroma.

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Glass

Choose a coupe glass, wine glass, or any elegant stemmed glass.
If possible, chill the glass in the freezer for 10 minutes to enhance the drinking experience.

2. Mix the Base

In a mixing glass or small pitcher, combine:

  • ½ cup lemonade
  • 1 tablespoon lavender syrup

Stir gently to blend the flavors without agitating the liquid too much.

3. Add Lemon Zest

Stir in 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest.
The zest releases aromatic oils that boost the lemon flavor and add visual interest.

4. Build Your Mocktail

Fill your chilled glass with ice cubes.
Pour the lemonade mixture over the ice.
Top slowly with ½ cup sparkling water, pouring gently to preserve the fizz and create delicate layers.

5. Garnish with Elegance

Float a fresh lavender sprig on top of the drink.
The lavender aroma will enhance every sip.

Optional:

  • Rim your glass with lavender sugar.
  • Add a few dried lavender buds for extra charm.
