  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 4–5 oz chilled sparkling water

Pitcher (Serves 6)

  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3–4 cups chilled sparkling water · Ice

Combine juice (or muddled berries), syrup, and lime in a pitcher. Chill. Add ice and sparkling water right before serving.

Homemade Lavender Simple Syrup

  1. Simmer 1 cup water + 1 cup sugar just until dissolved; remove from heat.
  2. Stir in 1–2 tsp culinary dried lavender buds. Steep 10–15 minutes.
  3. Strain through fine mesh. Cool completely; refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
Flavor control: Longer steeping extracts more floral notes but can turn soapy. Start with 10 minutes and adjust next batch to taste.

Make-Ahead, Storage & Variations

  • Make-ahead: Mix citrus + syrup up to 1 day ahead; add ice and sparkling water just before serving.
  • Herbal swap: Try rosemary or thyme syrup for a woodsy twist.
  • Color pop: A few fresh blueberries lightly muddled will blush the lemonade purple.
  • Less sugar: Use diet lemon-lime soda or extra citrus to brighten without more syrup.
