- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 6–8 fresh basil leaves
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
Syrup and Soda
- 1 oz lavender syrup
- 4 oz soda water (club soda or sparkling water)

- Use chilled soda water to keep the mocktail cold without diluting the flavor.
- Fresh lavender can be added as garnish for extra fragrance.
