How to Make Lavender Syrup for Cocktails
And Why You Shouldn’t
Lavender syrup is the secret ingredient that adds a floral, aromatic twist to any cocktail. Whether you’re a fan of classic drinks like a Lavender Lemonade or looking to get creative with your mixology skills, lavender syrup is a great addition to your home bar. But let’s be real—making it from scratch can be a hassle.
Making Lavender Syrup for Cocktails
To make lavender syrup at home, you’ll need three simple ingredients: 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender. Start by boiling the water and sugar together to create a basic simple syrup. Once dissolved, add the lavender and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Then, strain out the lavender buds and allow the syrup to cool before using it in your cocktails. Sounds easy, right? But here’s the catch—homemade syrup only lasts about 2 weeks in the fridge and needs to be used pretty quickly.
