Refreshing Lavender Mojito Mocktail Recipe
Sonoma County has some of the largest Lavender Blooms outside of Provance. Steve and I went to several on Saturday. So beautiful! I came home inspired to re-create my favorite drink, the Lavender Mojito, into a refreshing lavender mojito mocktail recipe. This delicious drink’s magic of muddling fresh mint and lime is sublime!
Why I LOVE Lavender Mojitos
I have always loved the taste of lavender. Lavender honey gelato is one of my favorite desserts; my daughter buys it for me on my birthday. Also, we live near several Lavender gardens like Matanzas Creek Winery in Bennett Valley Sonoma, Monte Bellario di California, and Bees and Blooms. We love photographing the entire summer bloom. June and July are peak Lavender seasons. It’s great to see and smell the heavenly lavender and extend the day by coming home and making a delicious Lavender Mojito Mocktail!
