Instructions

For the lemon-lavender-ade:

Step 1

In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, combine 1 cup (250 ml) water with the Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar. Place over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the dried lavender. Stir and simmer for 1 minute. 

Step 2

Turn off heat, cover, and allow lavender to steep and syrup to cool; 20 minutes.

Step 3

Strain syrup; discard lavender. Place strained syrup in the fridge to chill completely; at least 25 minutes.

Step 4

In a pitcher combine chilled, freshly squeezed lemon juice, with the lavender simple syrup. Stir to thoroughly combine. Stir in the remaining 1 cup (250 ml) of cold, filtered water. Place in the fridge until cocktails are ready to be made.

To assemble:

Step 1

Fill each glass with about ⅓ cup (83 ml) of sparkling wine. Top with ⅓ cup (83 ml) of the chilled lemon-lavender-ade.

Step 2

Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender or a lemon slice. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip


*If using more than 1 bottle of sparkling wine (750 ml), one can make up to 15 drinks with the total amount of lemon-lavender-ade.  

*If using fresh lavender, use twice the amount.

*Ensure that the sparkling wine and the lemon juice are chilled thoroughly as ice is not used in this cocktail. 

*Make the lavender simple syrup the day before for easy preparation.

*For a lighter syrup, use Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar in place of the Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar.

*Sparkling water or club soda can be substituted for the sparkling wine for a child-friendly or alcohol-free drink. 

*Any leftover lemon-lavender simple syrup can be used to flavour teas, sparkling water, and other cocktails.
