Ingredients You’ll Need for This Lavender Mojito

To make this lavender cocktail, you will need the following ingredients:

• White rum – the base spirit of a mojito. Any good quality and not too expensive rum will do. Don’t use dark or spiced rum for this mojito, as it will overpower the floral notes.
• Lime juice – freshly squeezed lime juice provides the tartness and citrusy notes that perfectly complement the other flavors.
• Fresh mint – muddled fresh mint adds a cool, refreshing herbal element. 
• Lavender Simple Syrup Recipe – works as a sweetener and flavour modifier. To make the syrup, you will need water, granulated sugar, dried lavender buds, and a few blueberries (optional, for added colour).
• Club soda or sparkling water – optional, for topping.
• Ice cubes – for chilling and serving.
• extra lime wedges, lavender sprig, and mint sprigs – for garnish.

How to Make a Lavender Mojito

To make this Lavender Mojito, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lavender simple syrup in a shaker until fragrant, then stir in the rum and lime juice until well combined. Taste and adjust the balance if needed, pour over ice in a glass, top with sparkling water or club soda if desired, garnish with lime wheels and fresh mint, and enjoy immediately.
