Portland Syrups Lavender is a non-alcoholic beverage syrup with a soft floral flavor, gentle sweetness and an herbal finish. Made with lavender flowers and butterfly pea flower, it adds a pale blue tint to drinks that shifts toward pink when you add citrus. Try it in sparkling water, lemonade, tea or a latte.
Why We Love It
Lavender can take over a drink in a hurry. This one gives you the fragrance and flavor without making every sip taste like a bouquet. We especially like how easily it moves between a bright lemon spritz and something richer, such as an iced latte or a botanical cocktail. The color change is a little bit of fun, too, and the drink tastes good before anyone notices the trick.
How to Drink Portland Syrups Lavender
For an easy serve, mix 1 oz of syrup with 6 oz of chilled sparkling water over ice, then squeeze in fresh lemon. Add a smaller splash to lemonade, iced tea or a latte when you want a gentle floral note.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Lavender Grapefruit Collins: Combine 1½ oz Tanqueray 0.0, ½ oz Portland Syrups Lavender, ¾ oz fresh grapefruit juice and ¼ oz fresh lemon juice in a shaker with ice. Shake briefly, strain into a tall glass of fresh ice and top with 2 oz sparkling water. Finish with a grapefruit peel. The grapefruit keeps the lavender bright, and the gin botanicals give the drink some depth.
