I love lavender, lemonade and mojitos so when I found this recipe on Pinterest I was fairly certain it would be a hit.

I made the lavender syrup at home. Here is my version of the recipe.

Yields 4 cocktails

Ingredients:
1 cup lemon juice (I used a combination of freshly squeezed and bottled)
I small bunch fresh mint
2 cups lemon club soda
1 cup light rum
3/4 cup lavender simple syrup (recipe below)

Instructions:
In a pitcher, muddle mint leaves and lemon juice. Add club soda, rum and chilled lavender syrup. Stir. Pour in to ice-filled glasses. Garnish with mint.

Lavender Simple Syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup dried lavender (I bought it at Bulk Barn)

- Combine water, sugar and lavender in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Stir.
- Once boiling lower to a simmer and simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickens.
- Turn off heat, cover sauce pan and let steep for about an hour.
- Push syrup through a mesh sieve to strain out lavender buds and pour in to an air tight container. Place in fridge to cool.

Perfect for a warm sunny day!
