Lavender Tequila Old Fashioned – A Bold & Floral Twist on a Classic

Lavender Sour – A Dreamy, Frothy Lavender Delight
Gin, lemon, and lavender syrup come together for a cocktail that’s tart, floral, and elegantly smooth.
The addition of egg white (or aquafaba) gives it a silky, cloud-like texture. It’s light, airy, and effortlessly enchanting—much like Taylor floating through her Lavender Haze era.

Make It Your Own: Creative Twists on a Lavender Favorite
Some drinks demand strict adherence to a recipe. This isn’t one of them. Whether you’re after something crisp and bright or smooth and indulgent, a few thoughtful tweaks can transform this floral cocktail into a version that’s entirely your own.
Make It a Mocktail (Non-Alcoholic Version)
The absence of alcohol doesn’t mean sacrificing sophistication. Swapping gin or tequila for sparkling water or lemonade keeps the drink crisp and refreshing. Using aquafaba in place of egg white ensures that the frothy, velvety texture remains intact, making it just as indulgent.
Add a Fruity Twist
Some fruits whisper; others make a statement. Adding fresh fruit can enhance both the visual appeal and the depth of flavor.
- Muddled blackberries or blueberries – Deepens the color and adds a rich, jammy sweetness.
- Strawberries – Lends a light, natural sweetness that balances the floral notes.
- Grapefruit juice instead of lemon – Introduces a sharper, tangier citrus element that gives the drink a bright, refreshing kick.
Make It Creamy & Cozy
A splash of coconut or oat milk takes this cocktail in an entirely new direction, lending it a lush, velvety texture. Served warm as a lavender hot toddy, it becomes something else entirely—comforting, soothing, and perfect for winter nights spent curled up indoors.
Enhance the Aroma & Aesthetic
A drink should be as pleasing to the nose and eyes as it is to the palate. Small adjustments can transform the cocktail into a multisensory experience.
- Rim the glass with lavender sugar for a delicate crunch and a hint of sweetness with every sip.
- Use fresh rosemary or lavender as a garnish to amplify the botanical fragrance and give the drink a more polished presentation.
Make Your Lavender Syrup Last: Storage and Mixing Tricks
A Lavender Haze cocktail is only as good as the syrup that flavors it. Storing and handling lavender syrup correctly ensures every pour delivers the right balance of floral sweetness. Keep it fresh, mix it well, and let the flavor shine.
Storage Tips
Lavender syrup, like any quality ingredient, deserves proper care to maintain its delicate floral notes and balanced sweetness. Heat, light, and air exposure can degrade its flavor over time, so a few simple precautions will keep it tasting its best for as long as possible.
- Keep opened bottles refrigerated and use within two months for peak flavor.
- Store unopened bottles in a cool, dark place—shelf-stable for up to two years.
- Avoid direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations to preserve quality.
Best Practices for Mixing
Shaking the bottle before use ensures the syrup is evenly blended, as natural ingredients tend to settle over time. The right amount of syrup depends on personal taste—some prefer a subtle floral essence, while others enjoy a bolder, more pronounced sweetness. Experimenting with different quantities can help achieve the perfect balance in any cocktail.
