Sparkling Lavender Lemonade is that rare drink that feels like a spa day in a glass—bright, citrusy, and gently floral with just enough bubbles to wake everything up. It is zero proof by default, easy to batch for a party, and right at home on sunny patios, baby showers, or as a reset pour between stronger cocktails.
This Sparkling Lavender Lemonade layers bright citrus from Top Hat Lemonade Batching Concentrate with a concentrated pour of lavender tea* and plenty of bubbles. Build it in the glass, keep the garnish simple, and you have an easy zero proof option that still feels special and chef-y on the table.
Method
- Fill a tall glass completely with ice.
- Add 1 oz Top Hat Lemonade Batching Concentrate directly over the ice.
- Add 2 oz strong Lavender Tea*, ideally well-chilled.
- Top with 4–6 oz sparkling water or Top Hat Premium Club Soda, depending on how intense you like your lemonade.
- Give a gentle stir to combine while keeping the bubbles lively.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel and a fresh or dried lavender sprig.
Pro move: Build this in a pitcher for parties—keep the Lavender Tea and Lemonade Concentrate ratio tight, then top each individual glass with fresh bubbles right before serving.
*Lavender Tea: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried culinary lavender in 4 oz of just-off-boil water for 5–7 minutes, then strain. Chill completely before using. For a softer floral note, shorten the steep time or dilute with a little cold water after chilling.
