Lemon Lavender Cocktail

The Lavender Lemon Drop Martini is a sophisticated twist on the classic Lemon Drop, making it an ideal choice for spring and summer occasions. 

The floral notes of lavender add a touch of elegance, while the citrus flavors keep it crisp and refreshing. Whether you’re sipping on a sunny patio or celebrating a special occasion, this cocktail is sure to impress your guests.

​This elegant drink combines the bright tang of fresh lemon juice with the delicate sweetness of lavender syrup, all balanced beautifully with vodka and a hint of orange liqueur.

I like to use Cointreau instead of Triple Sec in this drink because it blends better with the vodka, in my humble opinion. 

Ingredients

*The full, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of this post where you can adjust the number of servings. 

• vodka
• Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
• fresh lemon juice (about a lemon half) 
• lavender syrup (lavender simple syrup)
• ice cubes 
• sugar for the rim of the glass (optional) or purple sanding sugar
• lemon twist or lavender sprig for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. First, If you’d like a sugared rim, rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a martini glass and dip it in sugar. Set aside.
2. Then, in a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice, and lavender syrup, with ice. Give it a good shake and repeat until it’s well blended and cold.
3. Then, carefully pour the mixture into your prepared martini glass.
4. Next, garnish with a lemon twist, lemon slice or a sprig of lavender for a beautiful finishing touch.

Fresh Lemon Juice

I don’t suggest using bottled lemon juice for this recipe because the fresh lemon adds not only more citrus flavor but, a freshness that you can’t get from a bottle. 

Lavender Syrup

For your own personal preference, you can sweeten this drink by adding a little bit more of the the lavender syrup or a little bit of regular simple syrup.

Big Batch Recipe

See recipe card notes for the big batch recipe. It makes four servings about 6 oz each.

This isn’t just a delicious cocktail—it’s also visually stunning, making it a great addition to any spring or summer event. Imagine serving these at an Easter brunch with fresh pastries, or at a Mother’s Day gathering alongside fruit salads and tea sandwiches. 

The light, floral notes make it the ultimate warm-weather drink. So, the next time you want to enjoy a taste of spring, shake up a Lavender Lemon Drop Martini. 

Cheers to sunshine, fresh flavors, and friends!
