Picking Lavender for Our Cocktail & Mocktail Infusions

Last summer, I was wandering through the fragrant, purple-hued fields of Peace Valley Lavender Farm in Bucks County, just as peak bloom lit up the landscape with thousands of violet stalks. It was one of those perfect June afternoons where the sun warmed the breezes and bees buzzed  among the lavender rows.

These same flowers are now dried and added to my lavender-infused cocktails. Picking lavender isn’t just idyllic, it’s part of a living, breathing story I’m eager to share in every jar.

Lavender Haze: Floral with a Fruity Twist

These fragrant lavender petals became the heart of our Lavender Haze infusion—one of our limited-edition seasonal flavors with a sweet floral aroma. Paired with dried tart lemons, berries, and Angostura bitters infused organic sugar, this infusion becomes a beautifully balanced cocktail after a few days of infusing.

Imagine a chilled glass of lavender-berry cocktail, topped with sparkling wine or seltzer—the aroma is intoxicating, the taste is lush, and the color? Mesmerizing purple. It’s the perfect embodiment of summer—cool, floral, and elegantly fun.

Blueberry & Botanicals: Complex Layers

But the lavender journey didn’t stop there. I experimented by combining my dried lavender to create our Blueberry & Botanicals infusion, which has layers of flavor from blueberries, hibiscus, elderflower, and a twist of lime. The result is a cocktail that’s bright, floral, and subtly sweet—the kind you serve when you really want to impress.

Crafting Your Own Jar of Magic

Here’s how you can recreate the magic at home:

Lavender Haze

INFUSE-with gin, vodka, rum & tequila or green tea
MIX or top off with lemonade, cranberry juice, champagne or seltzer.

Blueberry & Botanicals

INFUSE with gin, vodka, rum, tequila, bourbon, whiskey, green tea
MIX or top off with limeade, champagne, seltzer or tea

Cold Infusion (2-3 days)
Fill with approx.16oz. of cool alcohol, wine or water
Let sit for 2-3 days (the longer the infusion sits, the stronger the flavor)
Shake the jar every so often to help the ingredients blend. Keep refrigerated after infusing, strain & enjoy!

BASIC RECIPE 16 oz.
1 part infusion (1 1/2 oz. approx.)
3 parts mixer (4 1/2 oz. approx.)
For a stronger drink try a 1 part infusion (1 1/2oz) to 2 parts mixer (3 oz.)

Adjust to taste.

Why It Matters

Lavender adds elegance and depth that pre-made mixers can’t match. Our farm-to-jar approach taps into a mindful cocktail movement—people crave authenticity, flavor, and beauty. Bringing ingredients from bloom to bottle ensures each sip is rich in story as well as taste.

Savor the Season

When you order a Lavender Haze or Blueberry & Botanicals infusion, you’re tasting summer from sun-soaked lavender fields, buzzing bees, and the promise of lazy, glowing evenings shared with loved ones.
