If you’re looking for a refreshing drink that feels elegant yet incredibly easy to make, this Coconut Lavender Lemonade is exactly what you need. Fresh lemon juice blends with lavender-infused coconut water and sparkling water to create a lightly floral, citrusy mocktail that tastes like summer in a glass. Coconut Lavender Lemonade delivers hydration, natural sweetness, and a delicate herbal note that makes it perfect for brunch, baby showers, garden parties, or relaxing afternoons on the patio.
A Drink That Feels Like a Garden Party
The first time I made Coconut Lavender Lemonade, it was during a warm afternoon when the windows were open and sunlight filled the kitchen. Grandma loved lavender in baked goods, but I wanted something lighter. So instead of cake, I infused coconut water with dried lavender and added fresh lemon juice.
The result surprised everyone. It tasted delicate but vibrant. Floral yet refreshing. Sweet but not overpowering.
Now Coconut Lavender Lemonade has become one of our favorite summer drinks. It feels special enough for celebrations, yet simple enough for everyday hydration.
If you enjoy light seasonal drinks like our Caramel Apple Pie Yogurt Bowl for cozy mornings, this lemonade offers that same balance of comfort and freshness — just in liquid form.
