Lavender Mojito

If you like a classic mojito, try this a spin. This Lavender Mojito is a breeze to make, and it’s also super refreshing and delightful!

Hello everyone – happy Saturday! Normally, I don’t post on weekends. But since this week I’ve been spending too much time (and apparently throwing too many tantrums lol) because of technical issues, I decided to have another delightful recipe.

It’s already September, and all of a sudden, I started feeling fall vibes. I mean one day it was super hot and humid, and now it’s so refreshing. Indeed, I love this time of the year, but it was just such a rapid change.

But even though the days (and particularly nights) are getting fresher, there’s still a room for some refreshments. Besides, I am not moving to anything apple, pumpkin, anyways, so you’re kind of stuck with me guys for another few weeks :)

Lavender Mojito

I believe this Lavender Mojito would be a perfect drink to celebrate Labour Day (and calendar fall, too.) It’s super refreshing, subtly herbal, and deliciously sweet.

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingrdients:

• 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.
