Coconut Lavender Lemonade Recipe
Summer has it’s many days of sunshine and fun adventures, but keeping refreshed is something that can never be taken for granted. This beverage recipe is my favorite for those sun lounging days. Tropical, herbal, sweet, and satisfying!
This is a fresh squeezed lemonade made with coconut water and lavender simple syrup. It’s just as gorgeous as it is refreshing. Go ahead! Add some coconut rum or vodka to kick this up a notch for an adult twist on a fun drink!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice, from about 9 lemons
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 8 cups coconut water
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 recipe Lavender Simple Syrup (recipe follows)
Directions:
- Place lemon juice, sugar, coconut water, and water into a pitcher and shake or stir vigorously until all the sugar is dissolved. I prefer to shake because it aerates the lemonade and makes a nice head on top.
- Pour 1/2 of the lavender syrup into the pitcher and stir. You can add more or less lavender syrup to your personal taste. I personally find that 1/2 of the lavender syrup recipe is a good balance.
*add spirits for an adult beverage

Wonderful beverage recipe! I make a lavender lemonade with a splash of volka. To die for….
I love it too, and a little vodka definitely makes this a great cocktail. Malibu rum is great for this too.
This look absolutely amazing! Happy to share with my followers! Also happy to find your fun website!
Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! I had lavender lemonade at a farmer’s market a couple of years ago when we lived in Virginia and I have craved it ever since. I will definitely have to try yours, especially with the addition of the coconut water. Sounds amazing!!

I love lavender. This is so pretty I would like to have it sitting in an old farmhouse window. I wonder how it tastes. If I could just get my lavender to grow and thrive I might give it a shot
