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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
