If you’re looking for a little summertime sip-a-roo, you’ll love this pink princess lavender lemonade.
(( ‘Pink princess lavender lemonade’ because it kinda tastes/looks like something a Royal would sip on while playing a casual game of Croquet on a breezy Tuesday )).
Right?!
Lil backstory: this recipe has been on my scroll of a to-do list for like, two years.
But really, two years.
I’ve been wanting to test out a DIY version since I tasted a version at a little boutique, charming restaurant called Cafe Chloe.
So finally I spent two breezy Saturday’s ago ( unfortunately no croquet included ) whipping up this lilac lemon goodness up for my girlfriend.
We died—- it’s seriously insannnnnnne.
You guys have to test this out before summer ends.
Because I feel like it would be so sexy to stroll outside ( wearing a Suzy Homemaker apron ) while your boyfriend/husband/etc. is working on the car/house in the sweltering summer heat, casually carrying a tray of lavender lemonade.
So effortlessly domestic.
Like, “oh hey hunny, no big deal, just whipped ya up a super quick batch of fresh lavender Meyer lemonade. Love you, mean it!”
(( Brownie points x 10 )).
So, let’s talk recipe.
I tried out Lauren Conrad’s recipe but I cut the sugar in half & doubled the lemon ( der! ).
Naturally instead of regular lems, I used Meyer lemons, because I literally cannot get enough Meyer lemons.
Like, I would probably enjoy Meyer lemon pizza, Meyer lemon wine, & definitely Meyer lemon toothpaste. Basically I would dowse myself in Meyer lemons on the reg, given the opportunity.
(( Oh & option for the lav lemonade: add vodka or champagne if you’re feeling frisky )).

We made lavender lemonade a while back and although it was delicious, we missed the memo on halving the sugar. SO going to try this again, lol! Xo, S
Lavender everything-yes! I love the idea of halving the sugar and even took some of your advice on sugary drink when I made Watermelon-mint-Rose Sangria for my bridal shower. I will def try this soon!

We have a huge Meyers lemon tree close to lavender and wild rosemary, remember my limoncello? Just a hint of both flavors infused thanks to our busy bees!
This looks delish! Here’s my take on lemons:
