Lavender cocktails have become a trend that looks like it’s not going away any time soon.

The clean, floral aroma of lavender makes a perfect versatile ingredient for different cocktail blends. Even though it's usually paired with gin, it's enjoyable with just about any other liquor. In the next couple of recipes, you’ll figure out just how versatile this cocktail syrup is.

Earl’s Lavender Sour

The 10 Best Lavender Cocktail Recipes by Moody Mixologist

Inspired by The Moody Mixologist’s list of favorite lavender-syrup recipes, we’ve cooped up this dream of a drink that’s great for happy hour, and brunch. 

Brandy (just like Cognac) makes an excellent pairing with lavender. Being grape-based, brandy inherently possesses subtle fruit notes and fragrances, which harmonize exquisitely with floral essences.

Purple Hearts Mojito

The 10 Best Lavender Cocktail Recipes by Moody Mixologist

Another one inspired by the Moody Mixologist’s Lavender cocktail favorites is a fun twist on a classic mojito that can be the perfect way to welcome the coming weeks of summer! 

The Mojito is a crowd-favorite, and mixing in the strawberries with the lavender just makes all of this elevate your cocktail experience to another level entirely.

A Side of Lavender 

The Lavender Sidecar Recipe by Natalie Migliarini

Cognac is a versatile cocktail ingredient. We often categorize them as one of the sipping spirits, but it can be blended into a cocktail just like Brandy in the Lavender Sour. 

This cocktail is best described as the elegant mix between the boldness of cognac, and the delicate allure of lavender. It’s a symphony of flavors, blending the timeless charm of brandy with the sophisticated, floral notes of lavender.

Inspired by a cocktail featured from Vine Pair, we've put our SoMixxy twist to this cocktail delicacy.

Lavender Love 

Lavender Love Cocktail by the Social Sipper

It’s almost Valentine's, so I’m sure this would be a hit for the lovers out there.

Not only does this taste and smell good, but it also looks positively dashing with its Barbie pink hue – maybe perfect for some Galentine’s events too.

We took some notes from The Social Sipper on this Lavender Love Cocktail, and crafted our twist around it.

The Elder Martini

Lavender Elderflower Martini by The Boozy Mermaid

This unique cocktail from The Boozy Mermaid went up our radar as we're always on the lookout for a good cocktail mix.

In their blog post, they’ve mentioned that this is one of their most requested recipes so we definitely took it upon ourselves to craft our twist on this one.

Instructions
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker. 
Add ice and shake well.
Strain mixture into chilled martini glass.
Garnish with lemon twist.

Velvet Oasis

The Most Refreshing Citrus Lavender Cocktail Ever by Emma Kelly

This piqued our interest when Emma from Nurtured Homes described this cocktail as “the most refreshing lavender cocktail ever.”

We wanted to see if this claim was fact by shaking up our version of this Velvet Oasis. And consider us hooked at the first sip!

Lavender is just this exceptionally versatile drink that doesn’t need much frills around it to elevate the taste of a drink. It’s a flavor of its own, entirely.

Lavender Elixir

Lavender Grapefruit Mimosa by Hunger, Thirst, Play

Lauren from Hunger, Thirst, Play was right when she said we shouldn’t have to wait for dang lunch to drink Prosecco. So, drink Prosecco, we must. 

This one’s a bubbly treat that makes every occasion just so fun! The sweetness of floral lavender just complements the tart of acidic grapefruit and fizzy prosecco so well that it’s always a good time with this drink.

As much as possible, try to make these with fresh ingredients because you will taste the difference. Now, once you’re all done with this drink and garnished it all up – sip to your heart’s content until the bubbles (or maybe the bottle itself) run out!
