This Mother’s Day, celebrate the moms in your life with a cocktail that’s just as refreshing and lovely as they are. Our Lavender Lemonade Spritz is a light, floral drink with a hint of citrus and just enough bourbon backbone to keep things balanced. It’s easy to make at home and perfect for spring sipping on the porch, at brunch, or while raising a glass to someone special.
Crafted with Swilled Dog Straight Bourbon, this cocktail brings a subtle vanilla warmth that plays beautifully with bright lemon and delicate lavender.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Swilled Dog Straight Bourbon
- ¾ oz lavender simple syrup
- ½ oz fresh lemon juice
- Sparkling water or club soda, to top
