Yes, you read that right… Lavender Lemon Margarita. Where has this light and fragrant margarita been all my life?
This margarita is made with a homemade lavender simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, Exotico blanco tequila, and a splash of mineral water. All that’s missing is a beach and a hammock.
This drink reminds me of limonada con agua mineral, which is what I always order when I visit Mexico. It is the most refreshing drink ever! Only this one, is the adult version with the addition of tequila and aromatic lavender.
When cooking with lavender, be sure to purchase culinary lavender to make the lavender simple syrup, which is simply lavender, water, and sugar. Any leftover lavender simple syrup can be refrigerated up to one week and can be used to sweeten lemonade or ice tea.
Next, to take this margarita over the top I rimmed the glasses with pink Himalayan salt for an added little somethin’, and the bubbles make this drink feel extra sophisticated and ultra-refreshing. Exotico Blanco is crisp with an herbal aroma and a hint of spice. It pairs perfectly with lavender and lemon.
This margarita screams ajua and needs to be a part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration! Salud!
