Storage
You can make this lavender lemonade cocktail up to 3 days ahead of time (without the ice). Store it in the fridge until ready to serve. Add the ice just before serving so it doesn't get watered down.
You can freeze this into popsicles or ice cube trays to make a slushy! It won't completely freeze due to the alcohol but it will be slushy.
