You know that feeling when the air starts to warm and the garden comes back to life? That’s exactly the mood we bottled into this refreshing, floral-forward mocktail.
Our Secret Garden Mint Tea—a calming blend of peppermint, spearmint, lavender, and lemon—makes the perfect base for a spa-day-in-a-glass. This Lavender Cucumber Cooler is what you reach for when you're barefoot in the backyard, flipping through your favorite book, or dreaming about your next garden party.
Cucumber brings a crisp, cooling note, while lime juice and lavender syrup elevate the whole thing into mocktail magic. Shaken over ice, it's the kind of sip that makes you pause, breathe deeper, and maybe sigh a little. Because yes, it really is that refreshing.
Perfect for non-drinkers, tea lovers, and anyone who wants to sip something beautiful—this is your go-to drink for springtime gatherings, post-yoga hangs, or just a quiet moment on the porch swing.
