Lemon and lavender sparkler

Nour Antoun

Sparkling lemonade with a floral lavender syrup, for engagement parties and summer evenings.

This sparkler is proof that a simple lemonade can feel grown-up and special.

Make a lavender syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water with a tablespoon of dried culinary lavender, then strain and cool. Shake 30 ml of the syrup with 30 ml fresh lemon juice over ice, strain into a chilled glass and top with 60 ml cold sparkling water.

Finish with a lemon twist and a tiny sprig of lavender. It is lovely for engagement parties, brunches and long summer evenings on the balcony.
