  • Cook Time: 15 Minutes for Simple Syrup
  • Total Time: 4 minute
  • Yield: 2 Tall Glasses 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cubes

4 oz. white tequila

2 oz. limoncello

2 oz. lemon juice, freshly squeezed

2 oz. Lavender Simple Syrup (Recipe Below)*

Club Soda

Lavender Simple Syrup:

3 tbsp. dried or fresh lavender buds  (Buds should be tightly closed and purple in color.)

1 cup water

2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

Make Lavender Simple Syrup ahead of time. Combine lavender buds and water in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Add granulated sugar and stir.  Lower temperature and allow syrup to simmer for about 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and steep buds in syrup for about an hour.  Strain buds from syrup with a fine-mesh strainer.  Pour syrup into a container with a tight-fitting lid.  We like mason jars!  Use as needed.

To prepare drinks, fill two tall glasses about 3/4 full with ice cubes.  Set aside.  Fill a cocktail shaker with additional ice cubes.  Add white tequila, limoncello, lemon juice, and Lavender Simple Syrup to shaker.  Shake vigorously for 20-25 seconds.  Strain the drink mixture evenly into the two tall glasses.  Top each glass with club soda and stir gently.  Enjoy responsibly!

Notes

Lavender Simple Syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in a tightly sealed container.

The exact amounts of lemon juice and Lavender Simple Syrup can be adjusted to your personal preference for tart and sweetness.

*If lavender isn’t your thing, replace 2 oz. of Simple Syrup for the Lavender Simple Syrup.  To make Simple Syrup, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.  Boil for about 5 minutes to thoroughly dissolve the sugar. Cool and use as needed.
