This pitcher of Lavender Lemonade is sweet, tart, and has the lovely floral flavor of fresh lavender. It's also as delicious as it is pretty!

It's really very easy to make, too! Just mix up a few very good ingredients together in a pitcher and that's it!

🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe

It's easy to make. Making homemade lemonade is very easy to do, and making a flavored lemonade is just as easy.
It's delicious. This lemonade is sweet, tart, and has a lovely floral flavor from the lavender simple syrup.
The color is gorgeous. I mean, look at it! The lavender simple syrup gives this lemonade a beautiful purple hue.

💭 What is Lavender Lemonade?

Lavender Lemonade is just fresh lemonade that has been sweetened with lavender-infused simple syrup. It has the fresh floral flavor of lavender flowers which complements the tart lemonade.

Depending on the syrup that you use, or whether you use some food coloring, your lavender lemonade can also take on the gorgeous purple hue of fresh lavender flowers.

📝 Ingredients

You only need three ingredients to make a pitcher of refreshing, floral lavender lemonade.

  • Lemon juice: It's gotta be freshly squeezed, please. Fresh lemon juice will taste so much better in your lemonade than the pre-squeezed store bought stuff will. Trust me on this one.
  • Lavender simple syrup: You can use a homemade lavender syrup or go with a store bought version. If going the store bought route, I like Torani a lot. It is worth noting that the homemade syrup will likely not give you the vibrant purple color that you see in these photos. The Torani syrup will, however. If you use the homemade stuff and want that color, you can always add a bit of food coloring. Totally optional and up to your preferences.
  • Water: Plain water is all that you need.
  • Garnishes: As always, garnishes are not obligatory. However, I think that they really take a drink and put it over the top. I used fresh lemon wheels and tucked them down into the glasses. Just use the ice to pin them to the sides of the glasses. I also stuck a couple of sprigs of lavender into the glasses, as well. You could also garnish with lavender flowers, if you so choose.

👩🏻‍🍳 How do you make Lavender Lemonade?

Even though the name sounds a bit exotic, this lemonade is very easy to make.

You'll start by squeezing lemons to get a good bit of fresh lemon juice. Now, I realize that it may be easier for you to head to the store and grab a bottle of pre-squeezed juice. But trust me when I tell you that nothing beats freshly squeezed juice in terms of flavor.

After that, all you'll need to do is combine that juice with lavender simple syrup and some water. And you're done!

Stash your lemonade in the fridge and pour a cup whenever you feel like it. I like to garnish mine with fresh lemon wheels and a bit of fresh lavender.

❓ FAQs/Tips and Tricks

Do I need to use fresh lemon juice?

I mean, technically no. You can use store bought if you really want. However, I strongly recommend using fresh lemon juice. The flavor will be much brighter, fresher, and overall much better.

Can I make this lemonade a different flavor?

Sure, just swap out the lavender syrup for another flavored syrup. Adjust the garnishes accordingly.

Can I make this lemonade ahead of time?

Sure! Make it about a day ahead of time by combining all of the ingredients (minus garnishes) in a pitcher and storing it in the fridge.

Can I add alcohol to this lemonade?

Yes! Add whatever booze you would like, but I'm thinking that vodka or gin would be lovely in this lemonade. Follow your heart when it comes to the amount that you add, but for reference, I added 2 cups of vodka to my pitcher of Strawberry Lemonade Vodka cocktails.
