Why this pairing works
Blue raspberry is bright and sweet-tart, and lavender gives it a grown-up floral finish. The rock candy slowly adds sweetness as it dissolves, so the last sip is as good as the first.
Serves 8 Prep 10 min + 1 hr freezing Cook 0 min
Ingredients
- 1 pouch Lavender Blue Raspberry Gourmet Drink Mix, enough for the amount the package makes
- Still water and sparkling water, half and half, in place of the water on the package
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, frozen
- 2 Tbsp Lavender Sugar, for the rims
- 1 Tbsp white or silver sprinkles, optional, for the rims
- 8 Lavender Rock Candy
- 8 Lavender Cocktail Picks, for garnish
- 1 bottle sparkling wine or prosecco, chilled, optional, adults 21+
Directions
- Freeze the blueberries on a tray for at least 1 hour. They become little ice cubes that won't water the drinks down.
- Dissolve the drink mix in the still water portion, stirring until clear, then chill until very cold.
- Mix the Lavender Sugar and sprinkles on a plate. Wet the rims of 8 flutes with a little water and dip them in the sugar.
- Drop a few frozen blueberries into each glass, fill halfway with the blue raspberry base and top with sparkling water (or sparkling wine for adults 21+).
- Add a rock candy stirrer and a lavender pick, then raise a glass at midnight.
Make it your own
- Swap in Lavender Grape Gourmet Drink Mix for a deep purple version.
- Freeze some of the prepared drink in star-shaped ice molds.
