A refreshing and creamy Coconut Lemonade enhanced with fragrant Lavender Simple Syrup, perfect for a cool mid-summer drink. This delightful beverage balances the tartness of fresh lemons with the richness of coconut cream and the floral notes of lavender, optionally spiked with vodka for an adult twist.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Lavender Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 tbsp culinary dried lavender

For the Coconut Lemonade

  • 6 lemons
  • 3/4 cup coconut cream
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup lavender simple syrup (prepared)
  • Vodka (optional, to taste)
  • 2 handfuls of ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in 1 cup of white sugar and 3 tablespoons of culinary dried lavender. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the lavender to infuse the syrup. Remove the pot from heat and set aside for one hour to steep fully.
  2. Strain the Syrup: After steeping, strain out the lavender blossoms using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Pour the lavender-infused syrup into an airtight jar or container. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  3. Prepare the Lemons: Wash all six lemons thoroughly. Cut each lemon in half and juice them, making sure to catch and discard any seeds. Transfer the fresh lemon juice to a blender.
  4. Blend the Lemonade: To the blender with lemon juice, add 3/4 cup coconut cream, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup of the prepared lavender simple syrup, and 2 handfuls of ice. If desired, add vodka to taste. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended coconut lemonade into glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprig or two of fresh lavender and a fun, colorful straw. Serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka.
  • The lavender simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, making it easy to prepare in advance.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor, and strain the juice well to avoid seeds in the drink.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of lavender simple syrup to your taste preference.
  • Shake or stir the drink before serving if it sits for any time, as coconut cream may settle.
