    Lavender Simple Syrup

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    If you’re looking for a way to make your cocktails extra special, this is the simple syrup for it. Lavender simple syrup is perfect for a martini or whiskey drink. I also like to add some to lemon drops, they are definitely a crowd pleaser!

    What do I need to make this recipe?

    • Water
    • Cane sugar
    • Dried culinary lavender

    What kind of cocktails should I use this in?

    This floral simple syrup is very diverse, and can be used to replace regular simple syrup in a lot of recipes! As mentioned above, I use it to replace the regular simple syrup called for in lemon drops, making a delicious lavender lemon drop! My Earl Grey Lavender Martini also calls for it, and it is truly such a unique and delicious cocktail.

    What is simple syrup?

    Simple syrup is typically what is used to sweeten cocktails. It’s a mixture of equal parts cane sugar and water, heated together until the sugar is dissolved. This makes a liquid sugar, making it the perfect was to sweeten beverages without having to worry if the sugar will actually dissolve into the drink!

    Tips for making this simple syrup:

    • Remove the simple syrup from heat as soon as all the sugar is dissolved into the water! You don’t want to burn the sugar.
    • Don’t skimp on the lavender! 4 tablespoon dried lavender can seem like a lot, but if you decrease the amount of lavender, you may not taste the lavender at all.
