Lime & Lavender Belongs in Your Glass
The combination of bright citrus and soft floral lavender is Cottage Core flavor favorite, working equally well with spirits or sparkling water — and our Lime & Lavender Beverage Gems make it easy to bring botanical whimsy to any drink. Just drop, stir, and sip.
1. Lavender Gin Fizz
Vibe: Floral, effervescent, bar-cart elegant.
You'll need:
- 1 Lime & Lavender Beverage Gem
- 1.5 oz dry gin
- 4 oz sparkling water
- Ice
- Lemon twist or fresh lavender sprig to garnish
How to make it: Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the gin, drop in your gem, and top with sparkling water. Stir gently and garnish. The gem infuses the drink with botanical lavender and a pop of lime that plays beautifully against the gin's juniper.
2. Lime & Lavender Vodka Spritz
Vibe: Light, summery, crowd-pleaser.
You'll need:
- 1 Lime & Lavender Beverage Gem
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 3 oz prosecco or dry sparkling wine
- Ice
- Lime wheel to garnish
How to make it: Add ice to a wine glass. Pour in vodka, drop in the gem, and top with prosecco. Stir once gently (prosecco is bubbly — don't overdo it). Garnish with a lime wheel. The lavender notes soften the acidity of the wine beautifully.
3. Botanical Margarita on the Rocks
Vibe: Tart, herbal, the margarita you didn't know you were missing.
You'll need:
- 1 Lime & Lavender Beverage Gem
- 2 oz blanco tequila
- 0.5 oz triple sec
- 2 oz still water
- Ice
- Flaky salt rim (optional)
How to make it: Salt the rim of a rocks glass if desired. Add ice. Combine tequila, triple sec, and water in a shaker over ice; shake well. Pour over fresh ice, then drop in the gem and let it dissolve. The lime and lavender gem amplifies the citrus and adds a floral edge that feels intentional, not accidental.
4. Lavender Lemonade Mocktail (Zero-Proof)
Vibe: Refreshing, crowd-friendly, feels fancy without the fuss.
You'll need:
- 1 Lime & Lavender Beverage Gem
- 6 oz lemonade (store-bought or fresh-squeezed)
- Ice
- Fresh mint or dried lavender buds to garnish
How to make it: Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in lemonade, drop in the gem, and stir. The gem deepens the citrus and adds a layer of floral complexity that turns ordinary lemonade into something that feels like it came from a craft cocktail menu. Garnish and serve immediately.
5. Sparkling Lime Lavender Agua Fresca (Zero-Proof)
Vibe: Delicate, hydrating, great for brunch or a spa day at home.
You'll need:
- 1 Lime & Lavender Beverage Gem
- 8 oz sparkling water
- Ice
- Thin cucumber slices to garnish
How to make it: Add ice to a large glass. Drop in the gem, pour in sparkling water, and stir until the gem is fully dissolved. Top with cucumber slices. This one is impossibly light and fragrant — perfect when you want something interesting without alcohol.
