Hey ya'll! Happy Fourth of July! I have no red, white and blue here today, but I come bearing tipsy, lemony lavender summer bliss on a stick.
Oh my freakin' so-and-so IT IS HAAAAWT! We're hanging out in cottage country this weekend, sans AC and even with the intermittent downpours, my limbs feel corseted in cement-like armour. When I finally peel myself off whatever surface I find myself stuck to, I move at a steady, molasses-like click. And my brain, well that's been on strike since returning from my last vacation.
To sum up - I am just a hot, frizzy-haired, dripping wet mess! I'm not hatin' though, not after the unbearably, frigid winter we just had. Shudder. Speaking of cold...
Nothing wrong with a little chill in small, sweet, citrusy, alcohol-laden doses. Enter these mouthwatering Limoncello Lavender Popsicles. To my palate, this is the perfect blend - citrus, which is synonymous with summer, lends a tart balance to the sweet notes of the lavender honey and the club soda wraps it up in a subtle, dry fizz.
These 3-ingredient popsicles are the perfect after barbecue adult treat and also makes a great beverage when shaken with a touch of gin and ice! Substitute lemonade for the limoncello and you have a kiddo-friendly, just as refreshingly delicious treat.

Servings: 7
Ingredients
- 250 ml limoncello . 1 cup, I used Rossi D'Asiago Limoncello
- 500 ml club soda 2 cups
- 64 g lavender honey 3 tbsp
- lavender buds optional
Instructions
- In a pitcher, infuse the limoncello with lavender buds by allowing them to soak for an hour, or overnight for a more pronounced lavender flavour.
- Pour the infused limoncello through a strainer to remove the soaked buds. Add the club soda and honey to the infused limoncello and stir until the honey is fully incorporated.
- Pour into popsicle molds, sprinkle in lavender buds and stir.
- Add popsicle sticks and freeze for 6-8 hours, or overnight.
- To release popsicles, run mold under warm running water and they will easily slide out after a few seconds.
- SWEET TIP:
- To distribute the lavender buds throughout the popsicle, use a small pastry brush to add a thin layer of honey to the inside of the molds. Sprinkle in the buds and they will stick to the sides.
- Lick responsibly and enjoy! Oh and check out my new Nutrition Facts tool below.
