Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1 ½ cups agave nectar

  • 1 ½ cups dried lavender blossoms

  • ¼ cup mint leaves

  • 2 ½ cups pineapple juice

  • ice cubes

  • 2 cups club soda, or to taste

  • 8 slices lime

  • 8 sprigs mint

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to low; whisk in agave nectar until dissolved. Remove from heat.

  2. Stir lavender blossoms into the saucepan. Let syrup steep, about 15 minutes. Strain into a bowl through a strainer lined with cheesecloth.

  3. Refrigerate syrup until chilled, at least 2 hours.

  4. Pour 1 1/2 cup syrup into a glass measuring cup. Add mint leaves; mash gently with a cocktail muddler. Mix in pineapple juice.

  5. Fill a pitcher with ice. Pour in pineapple juice mixture. Top off with club soda and stir. Serve garnished with a slice of lime and sprig of mint.

Cook's Note:

Cheesecloth is best, but I've found a strong paper towel works fine.
