This cocktail brings a gentle, floral twist to your summer drink lineup. The Chamomile Lavender Spritz blends the earthy warmth of tequila with the brightness of lime juice and the calming sweetness of a lavender-honey simple syrup. Topped with fizzy chamomile soda—Hoplark’s “The Calm One” is a favorite—this spritz is mellow but far from boring. Garnished with a few blackberries for a burst of color and flavor, it’s the kind of drink that feels right at home on a sunny patio, a picnic blanket, or a quiet evening winding down. Sip slowly and let the botanicals do their thing.
