Lavender Lemonade Recipe
I had so much fun teaming up with Cassidy Carson to create this lavender-themed food and drink series! Today I share a tasty lemonade recipe that uses lavender syrup to gives it a unique flavor. Serve this up for a wedding shower or any party that needs an elegant drink recipe. I love its light purple color and classy feel, perfect for a party full of ladies. Enjoy, and stay tuned for a lavender lemon bread recipe that you can serve along with it!
