Coconut Lemonade Recipe with Lavender Simple Syrup

Meet your new favorite mid-summer drink!

It’s been really hot in Seattle. Well, ‘hot’ in PNW terms… Ha. Most homes here don’t have air conditioning here, so I’ve been getting creative with ways to keep cool even when it’s really hot in the house. Frozen drinks have been at the top of the list, especially refreshing lemonade. Recently, I whipped up a really delicious combination of coconut, lemonade, and lavender and I totally had to share it with you guys. Meet your new favorite mid-summer drink!

Lavender is definitely one of those flavor profiles that makes me feel really fancy. I grew so much of it in my garden this summer, so I’ve been making simple syrup with it. Aside from using it in this lemonade, I highly recommend drizzling the leftover syrup over vanilla bean ice cream. SO GOOD.

Simple lemonade is always refreshing for summer, but I really love the creaminess that the coconut cream adds.
