Method
- Prepare the lavender simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the dried lavender, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
- In a large gallon-size pitcher, combine the lemonade, club soda, and vodka. Stir gently to mix.
- Strain the cooled lavender simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve directly into the pitcher to remove the lavender blossoms. Stir the mixture a few more times to combine evenly.
- Serve the spritzer in large glasses filled with ice. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or lavender sprigs if desired.
💡 Tips
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and add extra club soda or lemonade.
- Make the lavender simple syrup ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to a week.
- Adjust the amount of vodka to your preference, from 2 to 3 cups.
