This is the perfect summer drink for delicious blackberry lavender mojitos! It’s an easy drink recipe with all the classic key ingredients but with an added unique floral lavender flavour and sweet juicy blackberries. This will become your favourite cocktail to quench your thirst and cool you down during all the hot summer nights ;-).

Since our summer is almost over I’m longing for things which give me that vacation vibe back like Italian food, pina colada desserts and of course alcoholic drinks with that special something. I’m not a big drinker but I like my glas of wine from time to time or when the nights are hot a fruity refreshing cocktail with loooots of ice.

Hot Summer Nights call for ice-cold Blackberry Lavender Mojito .

Since I have kids, I can’t enjoy an adult drink whenever I feel like it, and oh boy, believe me, I often feel the need for something stronger. Especially when the kids are quarreling all day long ;-). Nah joke. I enjoy my drinks with my hubby by my site and my kids sleeping. Most of the time, I’m too tired to mix up anything fancy, so I like those blackberry lavender mojitos so much.

Blackberry Lavender Mojitos recipe: 6 good reasons why blackberries and lavender are the perfect match for mojitos

• The Mojito recipe is made in under 5 minutes.
• The homemade lavender syrup is easily made in advance and can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 weeks
• The blackberries and lavender syrup add that special something to these otherwise classic cocktails
• It’s a super refreshing easy drink recipe
• Blackberries stand for summer
• This drink will be the star at every summer party

Homemade Lavender syrup adds a beautiful unique floral flavour.

I love lavender! It smells fantastic and’s easy to grow, and that’s very important for me since I live a little bit higher up on a small mountain. Lavender is perfect for making your own chicken seasoning and brewing a better sleep. Lavender tea, lavender sugar, and lavender syrup, of course.

This summer drink is super easy to make, and you only need five ingredients:

• sugar
• honey
• water
• flowering lavender twigs
• blueberries, just 3 pieces for a light lilac colouring

You bring all ingredients to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Push with a spoon lightly on top of the blueberries so that they burst open and release their juice. Take the pot from the stove and let it cool completely. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or a chess clothe and fill it into a medium sized bottle. Voilá! Homemade lavender syrup ready to use. Please keep the syrup refrigerated in the fridge up to 4 weeks.

8 Ingrediens and our Summer Nights Blackberry Lavender Mojito are ready to enjoy.

First I start with 2 glasses which can hold a capacity of 350-400ml and a muddler. Put the brown sugar, thinly sliced lime wedges, mint leaves and blackberries into the glasses and muddle gently. The flavours should burst open and combine but the mint leaves shouldn’t be shredded to small pieces.

Add the white rum, you can use any white rum you like but I prefer a 3 year old Havana Club Rum.

In the next step I add the ice in form of cubes or crushed and add some more mint leaves, lime wedges and blackberries for garnish. Fill the glasses up with club soda and add at last some homemade lavender syrup.

Please enjoy this mojito drink only in good company. Bad company should go home before drinking and partying through the night with these delicious cocktails .My hubby and I had a total blast picking fresh blackberries from my garden and mixing up a couple of glasses for us. It felt like vacation and as if the summer would never end. Sometimes all you need is another adult who totally gets you and a couple of drinks to stay up all night long ;-). Blackberry Lavender Mojito!!!

Some thoughts on that drink.

If you don’t have blackberries at hand, red currents, raspberries and even blueberries do the job just fine . No rum at hand? Try it with vodka or gin, maybe that was your flavour anyway. You NEED ice otherwise this is not a drink but a warm runny sweet soup with booze . The most important thing though is to take your time, don’t do a drink between one door and the next.

You should enjoy a good drink as you would enjoy a decadent rich slice of cake: You saviour every single bite or in our case swallow.

Cheers to you and all the beautiful bittersweet late summer nights <3

No churn Lavender Blackberry ice cream funfetti cookie sandwich – say that 5 times fast

Phew! What a long name for a treat, right?!? What you’ll find here is not only one recipe. It’s 3 recipes made into one. Its a glorious recipe for your favourite new summer dessert. The best no churn Ice cream recipe, the best funfetti sugar cookies recipe and a flavourful lavender raspberry jam recipe. Which is the best too .

No churn Lavender Blackberry ice cream – best ice cream recipe ever

Blackberries are my favourite summer fruits. I love their tart and juicy flavour. I can create so many different recipes with these summer berries. Therefore it’s a good thing that I’m the happy owner of a huge blackberry bush. For example my favourite blackberry recipe is delicious lavender blackberry jam which is part of my ice cream.

Above all a no churn ice cream recipes is beside nice cream the easiest way to make creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker. Thats why I decided to come up with my own ice cream flavour which will be a summer dessert stable this year for sure.

No churn ice cream recipes – main ingredients

the two main ingredients of no churn ice cream recipes are:

• Firstly chilled cream. Of course you can use a plant based alternative instead too.
• Secondly a can of condensed milk. I made my own coconut condensed milk. I can hardly get any condensed milk at all in Austria however coconut milk is something I always have at home.
• Furthermore the flavour. Instead of my blackberry jam you can use any other jam or blended fruit sauce you have at home. You can add other things too like nuts, shredded coconut or anything else.

Crispy funfetti sugar cookies – because sprinkles are always a good idea right?

The recipe yields about 20 medium sized cookies which therefore make 10 ice cream cookie sandwiches. The sugar cookie recipe contains less sugar but enough sprinkles to get the cookie party started.

For a vegan version just use a plant based butter and 2 flax seed eggs and they turn out as crispy and delicious as the normal version.

The things I love about that recipe:

• Firstly the creaminess is amazing. It can totally compete with a classic ice cream recipes.
• No churn ice cream literally means easy cheesy.
• The coconut flavour of the homemade coconut condensed milk is fantastic. I will never use again a store bought one for sure.
• Lavender and blackberries harmonise perfectly.
• The sugar cookies are super crisp even after filling them and freezing .
• Despite being an ice cream sandwich its a very fancy dessert and you can serve it at any bbq party.

Please make sure rate the recipe and leave us some kind words <3 . We would love for you to tag us on Instagram or Facebook when you tried one of our recipes so that we can see. nothing makes us more happy.
