Our Keto Lavender Lemonade is the perfect drink for summer! It’s refreshing and easy to make. This fragrant drink is perfect for summer BBQ’s, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers and more!
Lavender
For this recipe we use dried culinary grade lavender as it’s easy to find year round. We find our dried lavender at Bulk Barn. You can substitute with fresh lavender but you’ll have to adjust the portions. Try using 1/2 cup to 1 cup of fresh lavender, depending on how strong the flower is.
Sweetener & Keto Honey
You can use any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice. Our preference is Monk Fruit Sweetener or Swerve Granulated Sweetener. In addition to the keto sweetener, we recommend adding keto-friendly “honey”. Our go-to is the Nature’s Hallow Sugar-Free Honey Substitute.
Color
Your Keto Lavender Lemonade may turn a light pink or purple depending on the lavender. Ours turns a light pink! Feel free to add purple food coloring to the drink to make it even more festive!
Alcohol
The Lavender Lemonade will keep in the fridge for about 1 week. Enjoy this drink on it’s own or serve with a bit of vodka or gin, such as the Empress 1908 Gin. It’s beautiful indigo color and botanicals will work wonderfully with this drink!
