After almost 2 weeks of traveling by myself with 2 kids I am finally back home and ready to kick back, relax, and sip on something super special, like these Blueberry Lavender Fizz  mocktails! 

Seriously, 10 days, alone, with 2 kids is a long time! I am pretty sure by day 4 they had both caught on to the fact that I was in over my head and took full advantage of the situation.

Couple this with the sweltering heat and humidity of the south and you’ll start to understand why I was craving an ice cold, fizzy, drink.

I have been obsessed this summer with making homemade sodas for myself and the kids. They love them more than any sugar loaded store bought soda and I like them because I have the option to turn my mocktail into a cocktail anytime I want. The blueberry lavender syrup for this drink is super easy to make and can be used for topping ice cream and is also delicious drizzled over pancakes too. It’s a multi-tasking syrup, you gotta love that!

Instructions

To make the blueberry lavender syrup

1. Combine the blueberries, water, and sugar in a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Crush the berries with a potato masher then add the lemon juice and lavender to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid has reduced and the mixture has thickened.
2. Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the blueberry mixture into the strainer. Gently press on the solids with a spatula to extract all of the syrup then discard the solids. Allow the syrup to cool then store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

To make a drink

1. Fill a tall glass with ice. 
2. Add 1/4 cup of the blueberry lavender syrup, squeeze in the lime wedge, and fill to the top of the glass with sparkling water. Garnish with lime wheels or blueberries if desired.
