Exciting Story
When I first made this drink, it was an instant hit at a family brunch. My husband, who’s typically not a fan of “fancy drinks,” kept refilling his glass, and my kids were enchanted by the lavender scent. Now, it’s become our go-to special drink for celebrations or just to make an ordinary day feel extraordinary.
What makes it extra special for me is how versatile it is—I can serve it in a simple tumbler for a laid-back vibe or dress it up in a fancy glass with edible flowers for a dinner party. This recipe has brought so much joy to our table, and I’m sure it will to yours too!
