This non-alcoholic batch punch consistently gets more compliments than the alcoholic options. The lavender-berry combination is subtle, sophisticated, and beautiful.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh lemon juice (about 24 lemons)
- 3 cups lavender simple syrup
- 2 cups mixed berry purée
- 6 cups cold water
- 2 liters sparkling water (add just before serving)
- Lemon slices, lavender sprigs, and fresh berries for garnish
Method
- Combine lemon juice, lavender syrup, berry purée, and still water in a large vessel.
- Stir well; taste and adjust — it should be tart, not sweet.
- Refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
- Just before service, pour into a punch bowl or dispenser over a large ice block.
- Add sparkling water and stir gently to preserve bubbles.
- Garnish with lemon slices, lavender sprigs, and a handful of fresh berries.
💡 Pro tip: Label this clearly as non-alcoholic and watch how many people choose it over the alcoholic options.
