Ingredients
- 2 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
- 2 oz. lavender syrup
- 10 mint leaves
- 4 oz. sparkling water (or more to taste)
- ice
Instructions
- Juice fresh grapefruit and strain to remove pulp. You can also use store-bought grapefruit juice.
- Lightly crush or muddle the mint until you release the bright aroma in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, until you smell the mint flavor.
- Add Lavender syrup.
- Add grapefruit juice and shake or stir until combined. Add sparkling water and stir again.
- Divide between two glasses filled to the top with ice and garnish with a fresh grapefruit slice and sprig of mint. We love to put the grapefruit slice in the glass first, then add ice.
- This is an excellent mocktail to make in a pitcher.
Notes
This non-alcoholic drink is also delicious with simple syrup or a tablespoon of agave syrup instead of lavender. However, we think the lavender makes this drink the perfect mocktail!
