This lavender apple vodka cocktail is made with lavender-infused, cold-pressed apple juice. There is no added sugar (yay!), and the hint of lavender is the perfect complement to the fresh apple flavor.
This refreshing drink is perfect all year round, and I especially love sipping one on a sunny spring day, since lavender is blooming everywhere. Of course, the fact that it’s easy to make doesn’t hurt either!
Serve it with my lavender cake for the best treat! Check out more of my vodka cocktail recipes too!
Apple Vodka Cocktail Ingredients
- Cold-Pressed Apple Juice: You’ll need 3 cups of fresh, crisp apple juice to infused with lavender. This will make about 8 cocktails.
- Dried Lavender (Food-Grade): 4 tablespoons for a subtle floral infusion. You will add this to the apple juice to infuse. You can find food-grade lavender here.
- Vodka: Adds a smooth, boozy kick to the cocktail.
Directions
Infuse the Apple Juice: Combine 3 cups of apple juice and 4 tablespoons of dried lavender in a jar. Seal it and refrigerate overnight, or up to a few days, for a deeper infusion.
Strain the Lavender: Once infused, pour the mixture through a mesh sieve to remove the lavender, leaving you with fragrant, lavender-infused apple juice.
Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 1/2 ounces of the infused apple juice and 1 ounce of vodka.
Shake and Serve: Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, then strain into a glass filled with ice.
Enjoy: Sip and savor this refreshing, floral apple cocktail!
Make a Large Batch
If you have a party, this cocktail is a great option! You can up the ratio of ingredients for your lavender-infused apple juice so you have a big batch of your base. All you have to do then, is add your vodka and shake it up!
Recipe Tips
Use Dried, Food-Grade Lavender: Look for high-quality, food-safe dried lavender to ensure the best flavor and safety.
Garnish Like a Pro: Add a sprig of lavender and a thin slice of apple to your cocktail for a beautiful and aromatic presentation.
Serve Chilled: Always serve this cocktail over ice to keep it perfectly refreshing.
