For Ice Floats (make these 24 hrs ahead)

  • 1 Tbsp. 
    edible lavender
  • 1/4 cup 
    BeeMaid Honey
  • 3 cups 
    water

For Raspberry Lime Fizz:

  • 1 cup

    water
  • 4 cups 
    seltzer or soda water

Directions

In a small saucepan, mix together the lavender, BeeMaid honey and water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off and let the lavender steep for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is fully cooled. Pour this mixture into ice trays and freeze overnight.

In a small saucepan, crush the raspberries with the back of a spoon, all the lime juice, zest, BeeMaid honey and water. Heat to a low simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes and strain through a sieve to remove the solids.

Fill 4 glasses evenly with the ice cubes and divide the raspberry lime concentrate between them. Top each glass with seltzer water and garnish with a raspberry and lime wheel, serve immediately.

TIP

You could add a shot of gin, vodka or substitute a sparkly wine or champagne for the seltzer water for a refreshing cocktail.
