INGREDIENTS:
For the Lavender Simple Syrup (makes about 4 oz):
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp dried food-grade lavender buds
For the Mocktail:
20mg THC total cannabis tincture
3 oz fresh lime juice
1.5 oz homemade lavender simple syrup (or store-bought)
6 oz chilled sparkling water or club soda
Fresh ice
Garnish: A sprig of fresh lavender and a lime wheel
INSTRUCTIONS:
Part 1: Make the Lavender Simple Syrup (can be made in advance)
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the dried lavender buds.
Let the mixture steep for 15-20 minutes, or longer for a stronger lavender flavor. Do not over-steep, as it can become bitter.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds. Let cool completely before use. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Part 2: Assemble the Mocktail
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice and the cooled lavender simple syrup.
Add the cannabis tincture (20mg total) to the mixture and stir well for 30 seconds to ensure the tincture is fully dispersed.
Fill two tall glasses or highball glasses with fresh ice.
Pour the lime-lavender base evenly into the two glasses.
Top each glass with 3 oz of chilled sparkling water.
Stir gently once or twice to combine, being careful not to lose the effervescence.
Garnish each drink with a sprig of fresh lavender (if available, gently muddled between fingers to release aroma) and a thin lime wheel.
CHEF TIPS:
Lavender Quality: Ensure your lavender buds are food-grade and free from pesticides. Culinary lavender is best.
Syrup Storage: Making extra lavender syrup is a great idea! It’s wonderful in teas, lemonades, or over fresh fruit.
Citrus Balance: The amount of lime juice can be adjusted to your preference. If you like it tarter, add a splash more.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Lavender-Infused Lime Cooler responsibly 💜🍋
