I think when you craft a cocktail all by yourself, it’s more enjoyable. You appreciate all the flavors more because you made them and you put them together. For this lemonade cocktail, we made our own lemonade and lavender simple syrup. It’s delicious and refreshing.
We used homemade lemonade in our cocktail (find it here). Store bought lemonade tends to have more sugar and when mixed with simple syrup it’s just too sweet for us. If you don’t feel like making homemade lemonade then a store bought light lemonade works just as well too.
