Ingredients & Substitutions
I always recommend using culinary-grade lavender since it’s safe for consumption and adds a wonderful flavor. If you can't find lavender, you could try using a bit of chamomile for a different floral note. Also, feel free to adjust the sweetness based on your taste; some folks prefer it a bit sweeter!
Tips & Notes

- •If you're feeling fancy, you can add a splash of gin or vodka for an adult version!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll swap out the orange juice for grapefruit juice for a tangy twist.
- •You can also add a few slices of fresh cucumber to the pitcher for a refreshing twist.
Storage & Freezing
This spritzer is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just keep in mind that the sparkling water might go flat, so you might want to add a little more when you serve it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh lavender instead of dried?
