Tomiko and I tried a cup of lavender lemonade when we were travelling through Prince Edward County last summer. It was delicious!
To make it more obvious that you’re drinking or serving the lavender lemonade, try adding a drop of red and two drops of blue food colouring to the whole batch to lightly tint it purple. The lavender flavour is also quite mild, since I didn’t want to feel like I was drinking soap.
Enjoy this lavender lemonade on porch or at a barbecue this summer!

Such a pretty beverage. Never have tried this. You had me at Happy Hour!
I am going to have to try this recipe out. My son has been asking to make a lemonade stand for the past two day.
Sounds so refreshing! My mom has lavender in the front yard, I’ll have to give this a try. 🙂
Ooooh, I’ve yet to try lavender in my lemonade, but you make it look delicious!
Such a refreshing summer beverage!
Lemon, lavender and happy hour together sounds like a great combination. I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing with our Pretty Pintastic Party.
What a beautiful Summer refreshment! Pinning and stumbling!
Love the sound of this, will have to give it a try
I started growing Lavender in my herb garden this year this sounds like one of the first things I want to try!
Sounds yummy. Too bad my lavender plant has died already in this Arizona heat wave. 🙁
This looks so refreshing!! Perfect for summer!! Thanks for sharing on My 2 Favorite Things on Thursday!! Hope to see you again this week!! Pinned!
Lovely touch with the lavender! And I love those beautiful cups (great color with the lemonade! Mm!)

This looks lovely & so refreshing! Pinned 🙂
Yum, this sounds a little more sophisticated than ordinary lemonade. We have a lemon tree and lots of lavender bushes in the garden and with a heatwave at the moment I’m going to make up a batch this weekend. Thanks for sharing 🙂
