4.8 from 86 reviews

The Lavender Lemon Dirty Soda is a refreshing, layered soda drink that combines the floral notes of lavender syrup with the tartness of lemon syrup, fizzy club soda, and a creamy vanilla creamer swirl. This quick and easy beverage is perfect for a cool, sophisticated treat on a warm day.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink

  • 1/2 cup crushed clear ice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lavender syrup
  • 1 cup chilled club soda
  • 1/4 cup vanilla creamer (dairy or non-dairy)

Optional Toppings & Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream
  • 1 lemon slice or lemon twist
  • Dried lavender buds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add Crushed Ice: Add 1/2 cup of crushed clear ice to the bottom of your glass to chill the drink quickly and create that classic soda fountain texture.
  2. Pour in Lemon Syrup: Gently pour 1 tablespoon of lemon syrup over the crushed ice so it settles at the bottom, providing a tangy base layer.
  3. Add Lavender Syrup: Slowly add 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup on top of the lemon syrup. Allow the layers to gently mix without fully blending for a pretty, colorful effect.
  4. Pour Club Soda: Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled club soda over the syrups. The soda will fizz and rise, lifting the layers slightly and adding refreshing carbonation.
  5. Add Vanilla Creamer: Pour 1/4 cup vanilla creamer into the glass, allowing it to swirl and create a creamy, cloudy layer within the soda.

Notes

  • Use crushed ice so the drink chills faster and provides a soda fountain-like texture.
  • Ensure your club soda is very cold to prevent rapid melting of the ice.
  • Layer ingredients slowly and avoid stirring until ready to drink to maintain visual appeal.
  • Try flavored vanilla creamer (e.g., French Vanilla or Honey Vanilla) for additional flavor depth.
  • Garnish with lemon slices, lemon twists, or dried lavender buds to elevate presentation.
  • You can prepare lemon and lavender syrup mix ahead and store refrigerated up to 1 week.
  • Chill your glass for 10 minutes prior to assembly for an extra cold beverage.
  • Substitute club soda with Sprite for a sweeter drink or use rose/hibiscus syrup instead of lavender for floral variations.
  • Use fresh lemon juice with honey or simple syrup as a lemon syrup alternative.
  • For dairy-free versions, use coconut cream or almond milk creamer and omit whipped cream for lighter options.
